Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes – (₹12 Crore) - Rajasthan Royals

Andre Russell - (₹7 Crore) - Kolkata Knight Riders

Ben Stokes was the most expensive overseas recruit in the last IPL auctions. Though his performances in IPL 2018 were not par with the standards set by him in the previous editions of IPL, Rajasthan Royals have retained him in the squad with the same salary for IPL 2019.

Andre Russell has repaid the faith shown by Kolkata Knight Riders in him with some consistent knocks in the lower order to take the team to the finish line. His ever-growing reputation as a finisher has made KKR retain him for IPL 2019 at a decent salary of 7 Crore.

These 2 playmakers have taken the lead to be part of the most expensive IPL XI of retained players ahead of the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, and Shane Watson.
