IPL 2017 Player Battles: Gujarat Lions vs Rising Pune Supergiant, Top 4 player encounters to look for

#4 Jason Roy vs Ben Stokes

The two flamboyant Englishmen will be up against each other

The two teammates from the English team will lock horns while playing for different franchises. Both of them had created buzz before the player auction and there were speculations of both being sold for big bucks.

Where Stokes became the costliest buy of the season when RPS grabbed him for a whopping INR 14.5 crore, Roy remained unsold in the first round of the auction. He was later picked up by GL for INR 1 crore.

Stokes hasn’t proved his money’s worth so far having just one half-century with the bat and has given away more than 9 runs an over. Roy too hadn’t done anything extraordinary and has accounted for 45 runs in 2 innings.

If Roy lasts until the time Stokes comes into the attack, it will be a great contest to see the two countrymen go head to head.
