The premier English all-rounder, Ben Stokes, is currently the most sought-after player in all the T20 leagues across the world and the IPL is no different.

Stokes was exceptional for Rising Pune Supergiant in his maiden IPL season in 2017. However, the marquee player has failed to repeat his exploits last season for Rajasthan Royals as he just scored 196 runs and scalped 8 wickets in 13 games.

With England playing this World Cup at home, Stokes, their most valuable player, will be their key. We all know how lethal Stokes is bowling in English conditions. As England think it is their best opportunity to win the World Cup, in all likelihood, Stokes will be called back early to get himself ready for the tournament with full fitness.

Thus Rajasthan may miss the services for a few matches
