Ben Stokes is currently in India with the England team for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The all-rounder recently opened up on escaping an accident while riding in an auto-rickshaw in Delhi.

Stokes’s teammate Liam Livingstone and England’s strength and conditioning coach Andy Mitchell were accompanying him in the three-wheeler.

Taking to Instagram, Stokes shared a video of the incident, in which the auto-rickshaw they were in narrowly avoided colliding with a white car.

"So, me and Livi [Liam Livingstone] are pretty big lads, and we also had our strength and conditioning coach, Mitch [Andy Mitchell], who is even bigger than us. Now, tuk-tuk's aren't very big. So, you can imagine that we were pretty squashed in the back of his tuk-tuk. This is the one I got [shows the video on his phone]... We were just running up to the roundabout here. Does not slow down and, yeah, there he goes!" Stokes can be heard saying in the video.

Talking about England’s performance in the ongoing World Cup, the defending champions have struggled badly so far. In fact, they are on the brink of elimination having lost four out of five games.

England’s next World Cup match is scheduled against the rampaging Indian team in Lucknow on Sunday (October 29).
