After a disappointing World T20 final against the West Indies last year, England all-rounder Ben Stokes, the highest paid cricketer in this edition of the IPL, decided to get an image on a phoenix on his right forearm of his body. Let's see if Stokes, like the phoenix, can rise from the ashes this year.
