New Delhi: England men’s Test captain Ben Stokes believes no player has made a bigger impact than what Gus Atkinson has made in his first summer of playing Test cricket for the side, adding that he knew the pacer was destined for success in the longer format.

Atkinson made his Test debut at Lord's against West Indies in July and immediately hit an impression by picking a match haul of 12 wickets in James Anderson's farewell international game.
