Ben Stokes, the star all-rounder for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has been ruled out of action for at least one week due to a toe injury. This comes as a major blow to the team as Stokes has been one of their key players in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
The injury occurred during CSK’s match against Lucknow Super Giants last week where Stokes was seen limping off the field after the game. The extent of the injury was later confirmed by the team’s medical staff.
Stokes’ absence could potentially mean that CSK will have to make some changes to their line-up for the upcoming matches. The Englishman has been a vital part of the team’s middle-order batting and has also been effective with the ball.
The team management will be hoping for a quick recovery for Stokes, but it is uncertain whether he will be fit to play in the next one or two matches. The all-rounder’s absence could also provide an opportunity for other players in the squad to step up and make a mark.
