Ben Stokes gets sold to Chennai Super Kings at 16.25 crore. Stokes was among the top potential players with the base price of ₹2 crore
The big-hitting left-hand batsman and dangerous right-arm seam bowler last played in the IPL in 2021, but he opted out of this year’s edition due to injury.
Stokes was instrumental in England’s T20 World Cup victory in November and led the Test team to a historic series victory in Pakistan this month.
Most of the teams were waiting for the English Test captain (Ben Stokes). There was a huge bidding war between Lucknow Super giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings came from nowhere as they joined the bidding war. Lucknow decided to back out and CSK bought him for INR 16.25 Crore.
