IPL 2018: Top 5 finishers who can decimate the opposition in slog overs

#2 Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes can hit the ball as hard as anybody else

Being the most expensive IPL pick for two consecutive years, Ben Stokes, like the previous year, enters the IPL with a bagful of expectations. Having recently returned to international cricket after affray charges, Stokes would be raring to go and prove his mettle all over again.

On his day, the England all-rounder can hit the ball as hard as anybody else. A testament to this fact is his unbeaten innings of 103 in IPL 2017 which came at a strike rate of more than 160.

Stokes smashed a flurry of boundaries and took Rising Pune Supergiant to victory while completely blasting the Gujarat Lions’ bowling attack.
