IPL 2018: 5 players who could attract a massive bid

#3 Ben Stokes, England

He will be playing for a new team in 2018

There is absolutely nothing the man can't do on a cricket field. He can hit the ball really hard, he can bowl at pace, he can bowl yorkers and is a stunning fielder. He is one of the best all-rounders in the world right now. Stokes scored 316 runs and took 12 wickets in the 2017 edition of IPL.

With Rising Pune Supergiant out of IPL 2018, Ben Stokes will go into the auction this year. He was the costliest player in last year auction and don't expect anything different this time around.

Ben Stokes is an absolute asset regardless of the format. RCB will most likely not retain Shane Watson - so expect them to go big for Ben Stokes. CSK and Mumbai Indians will also be eager to bag him.
