England's Test captain Ben Stokes missed out on a deserving double century as he smashed 182 in just 124 balls, including 15 fours and 9 sixes!
Stokes broke England's record for the highest ever ODI score as he went past Jasoy Roy's 180 (151) which he accumulated in 2018 vs Australia
A retirement return like none- This was Stokes' 4th ODI ton and his 1st since his retirement reversal. His last ODI ton came in 2017
Duo recorded highest stand (for any wicket) against Black Caps. With their 199-run partnership, they surpassed Eoin Morgan-Joe Root's 198 (2015)
Stokes now has the 2nd highest individual score in ODIs at No. 4 only behind Viv Richards who had smashed 189* against England in 1984
While Stokes came out of ODI retirement only to play in NZ series and ODI World Cup in India, his form will be a big boost for the defending champion
The highest score by a batter in an ODI game is 264 made by India's Rohit Sharma against Sri Lanka in Kolkata in 2014
