In last year's IPL auction, Stokes was the costliest buy for Pune with Rs.14.5 crore. Stokes was worth every penny with his all round performance, scoring 312 runs with the bat and taking 12 wickets with the ball.

Pune marched into the finals of IPL 2017 with the help of Stokes performance. Since Pune and Gujarat have been terminated after 2 years of contract, Stokes will go into the auction pool.

Stokes has already shown his match winning abilities and with bigger auction expected to take place this year, there would be no limit for his price tag in the auction.
