Ben Stokes, 27 years old, is easily one of the best all-rounders in the modern era of cricket. He filled England’s full-time all-rounder slot after the retirement of Andrew Flintoff.

Stokes is expected to be one of the key players for England in the upcoming World Cup this year. He is known for his partnership-breaking spells and his flexibility to bat at any position in the middle order.

In 2017, Rising Pune Supergiant bought Stokes for 14.5 crore. He was subsequently named as the Most Valuable Player of that IPL, with 316 runs and 12 wickets.

In 2018, Rajasthan Royals bought him for 12.5 crore but he had a below average outing, with just 196 runs and 8 wickets.

He is expected to bat at No: 4 or No: 5 and bowl in the middle overs. With the World Cup nearing, Stokes will be eagerly hoping to gain back his momentum this IPL.
