Ben Stokes: England’s hero

“I’m pretty lost for words. All the hard work over four years, to get here and be champions of the world. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m pretty done,” said Stokes

“This is where we aspired to be and to manage to come here and do it in such a good game. I don’t think there will ever be a better game of cricket in history than that,” Stokes added further.

Here are a few Twitter Reactions:

A game that ebbed and flowed from the 1st ball to the 612th!
Feel for New Zealand ?? who did everything that England ??????? did and still fell short.

What a spectacle this World cup final has been, not one person has left the ground. A big shout out to Trevor Bayliss (Eng Coach), he now has an incredible coaching profile, 2011 final with Sri Lanka, champions twice with KKR and a big bash title with the Sydney Sixers.

Congratulations to England on winning the Cricket World Cup. New Zealand were outstanding and never gave up, that deflection over-throw of Stokes being a huge turning point, tragic for @BLACKCAPS , so near yet so far but they must be very proud. #CWCFinal19
