IPL has catapulted in popularity and has become one of the most watched cricket leagues all over the world. Ben Stokes was one of the most expensive signings of PL 2023.
After seeing his excellent performance in the T20 World Cup, the CSK management spent a huge amount and acquired the player. However, the player, who was bought for Rs 16 crores, played only two matches this season and scored only 15 runs. He bowled one over and conceded 18 runs to the opposing team. That player is none other than England player Ben Stokes.
In the auction, Stokes was bought by the Chennai Super Kings team for Rs 16.25 crores. Everyone thought he would support the team. However, Ben Stokes was mostly confined to the bench due to a leg injury. He did not play a single match in the league stage.
This season this star player played only two matches. He scored 15 runs out of it. He bowled one over and gave away 18 runs. CSK fans are fuming over Ben Stokes’ performance. They are criticizing him for taking sixteen crores and not scoring at least sixteen runs. They are cursing that he took Rs 1 crore per run.
