On 17 December 2022, England took on Pakistan in Karachi for the third and final match of the ongoing series. Ben Stokes and his men already sealed the series by winning the first two matches. So, it was a huge test for the Men in Green to avoid a clean sweep at home. However, this series win is another special win under the leadership of Ben Stokes and the new head coach, Bendon McCullum.

Since the appointment of McCullum, England have rejuvenated their playing approach in this longest format of the game. However, such an approach has worked in favor of them so far as Ben Stokes. They have won three series and the rescheduled Test match against India in England. However, now a video has gone viral where Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes were seen competing in a six-hitting challenge.

Here is the shared video:

The England Cricket Board shared the video on their Instagram account with a caption: "@bazmccullum42 🆚 @stokesy The coach rolled back the years in a six-hitting competition with the skipper! 💪😎 #englandcricket #pakveng." Speaking of the video, both the England skipper and head coach were seen competing in that six-hitting challenge. Paul Collingwood was throwing the balls.

However, both managed to hit some sixes. But, McCullum proved that he still got it as he came out as the winner of it. Ben Stokes was not happy after losing that contest. But, fans loved that video and thus, it has gone viral now in social media platforms. However, before the last match of the series, Ben Stokes said that they could easily walk away with a whitewash.

While speaking to reporters, Stokes said: "We won that series before the last Test and there was even more put on to it, knowing that we could become the only English team to register a whitewash in Sri Lanka. So, although the series here is done and we'll still lift the trophy at the end regardless of the result, there's still an extra bit of knowing that we could be one of the very few teams that could walk away from Pakistan with a whitewash series."
