Who is the best all-rounder in the world?

[rexbamezai]

I'll go with Shakib Al Hasan.

 

[dauntless]

Ben stokes without any doubt. Genuine all-rounder

 

[Hasan123]

Ben Stokes easily.

 

[RainMan_]

Shakib Al Hasan without a shadow of doubt. Stokes is a decent all-rounder, but he isn't in the league of Shakib.

 

[Savage]

Shakib might be best AR across formats but Stokes is best AR in Test.

Stokes is also one of the biggest(if not THE biggest) Matchwinner in world cricket right now.If stokes is doing well,the chances of his team winning massively increases.

 

[Mamoon]

Shakib is very good but Stokes is elite material. Apart from Bangladesh, I don't see any team preferring Shakib to Stokes.

The latter is destructive, has a fear factor and can turn the game around in all three departments in a short period of time. He has the aura and magic touch that only the very great all-rounders have.

he is versatile unlike other ARs.

He has already proved himself in Subcontinent and outside subcontinent conditions.

He was arguably England's best player in India & Bangladesh along with Australia and South Africa.

He singlehandedly won the match in Bangladesh and was given man of the series in South Africa.His performance in India and Australia shows that he can perform well outside the comfort Zone

A good fast bowling all-rounder will always be better than a good spin bowling all-rounder.

 

[Ab Fan]

Stokes is brilliant but bottles on crunch moments. WT20 2014 was a great chance he missed on. We have to see if he can make up for that in WC 2019.

However, he is a elite material test cricketer. He has the intent and can perform everywhere. He outperformed Moeen Ali who was expected to be the lead all-rounder in India and Bangladesh. So, huge credit to him for that and is brilliant in Australia and South Africa as well.

 

[another drop catch]

ben stokes till now

 

[hur rizvi]

Ben stokes only proven test class AR these days

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Stokes is a genuine Test class all-rounder by any measure. Incredible cricketer.

No doubting the talent of Stokes but he plays less test cricket than he misses for one or the other reason. Even now he isn't bowling but mostly trying to bat.

As much as the talent is there, I don't think he'll pick a test career over IPL now.

 

[introvert]

Stokes.
Because he is good aggressive batsman,

very good 4th seamer who can bowl longer spells in the middle at good pace,

probably one of the best fielder in the world.

 

[Kaka4pope]

Stokes springs to mind, as a match winner too,though I appreciate Shakibs reliability - both brilliant in their own right...

 

[Rayyman]

Stokes hasn't been great since his return so I'll go with Shakib across all formats.

In Tests: Ashwin and in LOIs: Stoinis.

Really

 

[blackanhyellow]

Really

Babajee zara dheere chalo.

Rana has barely played cricket, let him play for a couple of years first.

Imad's batting is not great so he isnt in the same league as stokes or shakib yet. Maybe he will improve who knows.

 

[MMHS]

Really surprised with the double standard these days - people are happy to boast Test No. 1 rank, ODI No. 1 rank, T20 No. 1 ... by ICC Ranking. But, when it comes to give due credit to someone ranked in No. 1 in 3 formats, for best part of a decade now ........

Just like W/L determines the Team ranking, individual ranking is determined by the contribution of players with a qualitative factor in it - one can't improve ranking by bashing ZIM only, be team or individual. If it becomes selective for teams & individuals, I guess it's unfair.

But but but Stokes has X-factor and matchwinning ability
