Ben Stokes is considered one of the best all-round cricketers in history, and Liam Livingstone is known for being a highly powerful and destructive batsman in international cricket.
Both are currently in India with the England team for the 2023 ODI World Cup. Stokes shared a frightening incident from one of their auto-rickshaw rides in India, where they had a close call when a white car almost crashed into their tuk-tuk.

“So, me and Livi [Liam Livingstone] are pretty big lads, and we also had our strength and conditioning coach, Mitch [Andy Mitchell], who is even bigger than us. Now, tuk-tuk’s aren’t very big. So, you can imagine that we were pretty squashed in the back of his tuk-tuk. This is the one I got [shows the video on his phone]… We were just running up to the roundabout here. Does not slow down and, yeah, there he goes!” Stokes shared during a chat on The Athlete’s Voice by 4CAST.
England’s performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup has been far from impressive. They have only managed to secure one victory out of the four matches they’ve played.
Ben Stokes missed the first three games due to a hip injury and returned for their recent match against South Africa but didn’t perform as expected. England’s upcoming match against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on October 26 is crucial, as both teams have struggled in the tournament and can’t afford more losses.
On the other hand, Liam Livingstone played the first three games but was not included in the lineup for the match against South Africa. England is expected to win against Sri Lanka, but this World Cup has seen surprising outcomes, and Sri Lanka might just be the next team to pull off an unexpected victory.
