Ben Stokes is awarded with the BBC SPOTY award for the yerar 2019. Take a list of his performances, the final of the World Cup 2019 or the Ashes innings, this Men has done it all that a sportsperson could, in a year. One would be a Star of a player if he would have pulled these amazing stuffs in his lifetime that Ben Stokes had achieved in this single year. Deservedly the Sports Person Of The Year- Ben Stokes.
Ben Stokes is the first cricketer after Freddie Flintoff to win the prestigious award since 2005.
Personally, I was absolutely gutted to know that Lewis Hamilton the Formula 1 world champion with Six world titles under his name in 10 years, had been voted 2nd for the same award.
Soon after, the congratulatory wishes started to pour in for the Champion of a player.
The England team that won the World Cup was named, Team of the Year.
“It’s an individual award but it’s a team sport. The best thing is you get to share big moments with teammates and back-room staff. They make moments like this summer possible. Two years ago was a tough time for me in my life and I had so many people help me through that. I wouldn’t be up here without you, so thanks.”
Ben Stokes after receiving the BBC SPOTY award 2019
Not
to forget, two years ago Stokes was arrested on charges of affray after
a brawl outside a Bristol nightclub. Claiming he had become involved in
a fight after trying to help a gay couple receiving homophobic abuse,
Stokes went on trial last year and was eventually found not guilty of
affray charges.
Since then he had struggled to get back to his form,
and what a year he chose to be back in, 2019, which had almost
everything to offer. And O, how did he grab it all! Ben Stokes ‘you
beauty!’
