IPL Auction 2017: 5 international players who could start a bidding war

#1 Ben Stokes

One of the best all-rounders today

This enigmatic all-rounder has been a revelation of sorts for the England cricket team. Having been touted as the next Andrew Flintoff, he has certainly proved his worth with his exceptional performances with the bat and ball and has in fact been much better than Flintoff was.

Stokes has not played in the IPL so far. He took part in the Big Bash League in 2015 where he was a part of the Melbourne Renegades franchise.

With his ability to decimate opposition bowlers with ease and cause constant trouble to the batsmen with his bowling, he would surely go for a high price in the auction. In fact, Indian star Yuvraj Singh, too feels that he would fetch big bucks in the upcoming auction. He will also reportedly receive a pay cut from the England cricket board if he plays in the IPL this year.
