England all-rounder Ben Stokes gave an unexpected reply to a presenter’s question after their win against Pakistan in the finals of the T20 World Cup on Sunday (November 13) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The reply left everyone thinking again about the answer but with a dirty mind.
The presenter asked a double-meaning question as he asked, “You like taking it to the deep, don’t you?.” To which, Stokes, with a quirky smile said: “Umm Careful”. Following his reply, everyone shared a good laugh together. The video is doing the rounds on the internet.
Stokes once again rose on the big occasion for the three Lions as he scored an unbeaten 52 off 49 balls to take his team over the line. There were hurdles throughout his innings but he kept him temperament and showed maturity. His knock will be remembered for a long time.

England hoping Ben Stokes to come out of retirement in ODIs
The English all-rounder announced his decision to retire from the ODI format, citing that his body wasn’t able to keep up across all formats. He wanted to focus on Test cricket after getting the captaincy and also participate in T20 cricket to keep himself fit for the most in-demand format.
However, with the 2023 ODI World Cup approaching, the three Lions are hoping Stokes can take back his retirement from ODIs. He played a vital role in England’s 2019 World Cup win, especially in the finals. Once again, he could turn out to be the key difference maker for them.

Reportedly, he is also keen to participate in the mini-auction for IPL 2023. He missed last season to remain fit for the summer schedule.
