During his second innings, Stokes showcased his power-hitting prowess, scoring 42 runs off 67 balls, including three fours and a remarkable six. With this single six, he achieved the record for the highest number of sixes by a batter in a single Ashes series against Australia.
In total, Stokes blazed an incredible 15 sixes in the series, surpassing the previous record of 14 held by Kevin Pietersen from the 2005 Ashes series. Stokes had also smashed 13 sixes in the 2019 edition of the series.
His ability to clear the boundaries also places him second on the list for the most sixes in a Test series, with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma holding the top spot with 19 sixes, achieved during the series against South Africa in the 2019-20 season.
In the ongoing Ashes, Stokes has scored 405 runs in five matches across nine innings at an average of 45.00. He has scored one century and two fifties in the series, with the best score of 155. He is the third-highest run-scorer in the series next to Usman Khawaja (424 runs) and Zak Crawley (480 runs).
