IPL auction 2018: 5 overseas players who could be more expensive than Virat Kohli

#3 Ben Stokes

Controversy has surrounded the English all-rounder recently

One of the all-rounders on top of the list of players available in the auction is England's Ben Stokes.

His performance in the last season of the tournament was fabulous. Of the 12 matches he participated in, he scored 312 runs and picked up 12 wickets. This made him one of the prominent players in the competition.

Meeting the requirements of IPL is a difficult task, as only 4 overseas players are to be chosen for play on-field, which is why all-rounders are a better option. Considering that he went for a massive bid last time around, there's no doubt that he would be wanted by all teams this time around as well.

Ben Stokes might be a good choice for the teams with relatively weaker bowling attack
