Depleted Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes was a completely depleted man after the assault against him by the West Indian cricketer Carlos Brathwaite in the world T20 final in 2016. The West Indian hit four consecutive sixes of Stoke’s final over to help the West Indies win the world cup. It was one of the worst moments in the life of Ben Stokes as a cricketer but like a true champion, he came back strongly by delivering match winning performances consistently.

Today, people all around the world know all about IPL and it has become the biggest T20 club cricket tournament in the world. 

Teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore are full of superstars like Virat Kohli, De Villiers and Chris Gayle and, the excellent performances of David Warner helped Sun Risers Hyderabad win the 2016 IPL.

Pune Super Giants also has superstars like MS Dhoni, Ashwin, Stokes, Faf du Plessis and Steve Smith. It can be said without an iota of doubt that the Pune team is going to make life difficult for other teams in this year’s IPL with the inclusion of Stokes.

Stokes is a flamboyant cricketer and his aggressive style and fearless attitude is going to add more glamour to the already glamorous IPL.
