Ben Stokes called himself 'Bionic man' on social media
The captain of England Test team, Ben Stokes, jokingly called himself a ‘Bionic man’ after he made a recovery from hamstring injury. During England’s last game in New Zealand in 2024, Stokes faced an injury in his left hamstring ,which required a surgery.
Ben Stokes now went to his social media and posted an image of himself sitting at the back of a car, with pillow and braced leg. The all-rounder believes he will return to action soon enough.
“Bionic Man for a while. Surgery done. In a bit….” Stokes captioned his Instagram post.
Stokes recovered to full fitness after a continuous recovery program, and he had played as an all-rounder in the series against New Zealand. However, he was not able to continue in the match as he came up with a problem mid-over due to high demand put on him.
The England team for Champions Trophy has already excluded Ben Stokes from their squad, but he has a chance to concentrate on rehabilitation and return to Tests since there are no matches scheduled for the country till May.
