Ben Stokes gets support from Kevin Pietersen and Twitterati

Amidst all the praise showered on West Indies cricket team for their astounding show in the 2016 World T20, England’s spirited fight back in the tournament went unnoticed. England came back strongly after losing their tournament opener against West Indies to book a berth in the final against the same team.

All was going well in the final until a certain Carlos Brathwaite played the innings of his life to shell-shock England. Bowling the last over of the match and defending 19 runs, Ben Stokes did not know what hit him as Braithwaite slammed four straight sixes to seal victory for West Indies.

Stokes was heartbroken and in tears as he saw England’s hopes of a second World title go up in smoke in no time as Brathwaite slammed the winning runs. However, Stokes got support from his skipper Eoin Morgan who put a hand around the bowler’s shoulders even as Stokes dropped on all fours after the loss.

England national discard Kevin Pietersen took to social media site to support Stokes.
