England Test captain Ben Stokes was the next important all-rounder. Stokes was unable to play for Rajasthan Royals last season due to injury. But Stokes and Curran played a crucial role in winning the last T20 World Cup for England. Curran or Stokes was the Chennai target. And they got Stokes.
Chennai Super Kings bought Ben Stokes for Rs 16.25 crore. Fans consider it MS Dhoni’s masterstroke. Dhoni, who was the captain of Chennai, stepped down as captain just before the start of last season. Ravindra Jadeja led the team instead. The team could not perform well under Jadeja’s captaincy. Chennai was out without seeing the playoffs.
Fans believe that Stokes will become the future hero of Chennai. They think that Stokes has been hired in the Chennai team for this purpose. Stokes, who shines equally in batting, bowling and fielding, is a player who has proven himself to be a great captain. He has also performed brilliantly in previous seasons of IPL. Fans are waiting for Stokes to replace Jadeja next season. Ben Stokes will become the team’s first foreign captain.
