5 memorable moments from the RPS v GL match that don’t fade away

#5 Stokes’ masterclass

There was simply no stopping the Englishman

Before the auction for this year’s IPL, Ben Stokes was predicted to be the most expensive player this season – and that’s exactly what happened. In fact, not only was he the most expensive for this season, his price tag of $2.16 million made him the most expensive foreigner in the history of IPL.

His performances, however, weren’t up to the mark for someone on whom so much money was spent. But tonight, he played a gem of an innings – a match-winning one, in fact. Tonight, he showed us why the Pune owners paid so much money to acquire his services.

103 runs off 63 balls. 7 fours and 6 sixes. This was an innings that will remain in the minds of many Pune fans for a long time to come. After all, this innings single-handedly won them the game.
