Rajasthan Royals - Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes was the most expensive buy in this year's auction and not many were surprised given his skill with both bat and ball. Be it taking the bowlers to the cleaners, chipping in with handy wickets, or even pulling off some stunning catches, Ben Stokes is an asset in each department of the game.
The Englishman set last year's tournament ablaze with his all-rounding skills and played a pivotal role in making Rising Pune Supergiant reach the finals.
This year hasn't quite seen the best of Stokes as yet. In six matches played thus far, the all-rounder scored about 147 runs and managed to pick up just one wicket. However, he continues to be a major component of Rajasthan Royals and gives the squad the right balance.
The Rajasthan fans will be hoping the flamboyant cricketer comes good soon and powers their team to the next stage of the tournament.
