Ben Stokes
Bangalore: The English are back in India, albeit they came courtesy the English Cricket Board and not the East India Company. Expectedly, it was all-rounder Ben Stokes who was the most sought-after player as the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) auction ahead of Season 10 kicked off here this morning. If Stokes was bought for a massive Rs 14.50 crore by the Rising Pune Supergiants after a fast and furious battle between four franchises, fast bowler Tymal Mills too rode the English wave, Royal Challengers Bangalore bagging him for as much as R12cr, a figure that is 24 times his base price of R50 lakh.
