8. Ben Stokes (Rising Pune Supergiants)
The million-dollar baby, England’s Ben Stokes will have all eyes on him for Rising Pune Supergiants during the IPL. Purchased for a whopping price of 14.5 crores, Ben had to be the one to look out for. He’s young, athletic, fast and powerful, and that what matters. If it doesn’t fit the criteria, then his ability to win matches on his own would surely fit.
Dominant with bat and ball at the same time, Stokes has an experience of playing in different leagues across the globe. His participation in the league would lift the spirits to next level as the franchise would look to turn the tables around after a torrid inaugural season, where they finished last.
