Arjun Tendulkar was also asked about his favourite all-rounder in world cricket. Arjun Tendulkar, who is a pace-bowling all-rounder himself, answered with England’s star all-rounder Ben Stokes'name. Arjun Tendulkar's answer didn't come as a surprise as Ben Stokes has always risen up to the occasion and has bailed his country out of dire situations on several occasions.

In the 2019 World Cup final, Ben Stokes played a magnificent knock to help England tie and then also batted in the Super Over for a historic victory. A month later, in the third Ashes Test at Headingley, Ben Stokes added 71 runs for the last wicket with Jack Leach to create history in a steep chase with his 135* and most importantly, keep the Ashes alive.
