IPL 2018: 5 all-rounders who can set the IPL on fire

#1 Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes, the English all-rounder has been the most sought-after option in the IPL Auction. Stokes was the most expensive player in the previous season being sold for Rs. 14 crores. As the Rising Pune Supergiant, the team he represented in the last season was dissolved, Stokes had to go back into the Auction pool.

He again became the most expensive player in this year's Auction after Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 12.5 crore. Stokes participation in this year's IPL became a topic of discussion following his bar brawl incident and the IPL franchises kept a close eye on the proceedings until he was cleared to play in the IPL.

Stokes who played in his debut IPL season last summer lived up to the expectations of his team. He scored 316 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 142.98 and clinched 12 wickets at an economy of 7.18.

Following his successful international season, Rajasthan Royals must be hoping the all-rounder to carry his form into the league.
