Ben Stokes, Bought By Pune For Rs 14.5 Crore, Becomes IPL’s Most Expensive Foreign Player Ever

Aggressive England all-rounder Ben Stokes set the bar in the IPL 2017 Auctionas he was bought by Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) for Rs. 14.5 crore after some intense bidding. Stokes become IPL’s most expensive foreign player ever. Beginning at the base price of Rs. 2 crore, Stokes, who has never played the Indian Premier League, was much sought after as Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils went after him hammer and tongs till Rs. 10.5 crore, when Mumbai pulled out. It was then that the Rising Pune Supergiants and Sunrisers Hyderabad went into action.

However, RPS were not to be denied as they stuck to their guns and finally got the Englishman for what they’d think was a bargain price.                                                                    Stokes, 25, was born in Christchurch, New Zealand. He is an integral part of the English Test and limited-overs teams.

An aggressive, in-your-face cricketer, Stokes had impressed with his performance with bat and ball during the series with India and though his side lost all the series, the Englishman made a case for himself in that period and was one of the hottest properties for the IPL 2017 auction.

Stokes has played 32 Tests for England, plus 50 One-day Internationals and 21 T20 Internationals. It can be safely assumed that Stokes’ career T20I strike rate of over 136 and his lightning presence in the field have added to his stock.

Profile

An absolute livewire behind the stumps, Mushfiqur Rahim, fits the clichéd description of wicket-keepers aptly. He is short, very quick behind the stumps, always chuntering away and a handy batsman as well. He was initially picked as an understudy to Khaled Mashud for the tour of England in 2005, but as he impressed everyone with his competence with the bat in the tour games, he was made to play as a specialist batsman in the first Test at the age of 16. He thus became the youngest player to play at Lord’s. An ankle injury forced him out of the side for a while before being recalled to the side for the tour of Zimbabwe in 2006. His consistent performances saw him pip Mashud as the first choice wicket-keeper for the 2007 World Cup in West Indies. He was soon a part of the Test squad, too, and sealed his spot with a 80 against Sri Lanka in only his third Test.

He continued to make consistent contributions down the order with the bat and was more than competent as a keeper for Bangladesh’s spin dominated attack. His moment of fame came in 2010 in a Test against India. He scored a quickfire century, the quickest by any Bangladeshi, and impressed many people with his sound technique. It did not help Bangladesh save defeat, but it certainly put him in the limelight. In fact, Bangladesh look up to him, and a few other talented youngsters, to take them forward.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board then launched the six-team BPL in 2012. The BCB made Mushfiqur the ‘Icon Player’ for Duronto Rajshahi. Under his leadership, Duronto overcame a poor start to progress to the semi-finals, where they lost to Barisal Burners. Rahim scored 234 runs from 11 matches in that season. In the 2012 Asia Cup, under Rahim’s captaincy, Bangladesh won two out of the three games they played and reached the final for the first time, where they lost to Pakistan. In April, his grade A+ central contract was renewed. On 11th March 2013, during the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, Rahim became the first Bangladeshi to score a double hundred, bettering the previous highest of 190 set by Mohammed Ashraful, earlier in the day.

On May 8, 2013, Mushfiqur resigned from captaincy, but a few days later, announced that he had made a mistake and on July 3, 2013, the BCB said that they would be retaining Rahim as captain until the end of the year. Rahim had an outstanding home series against New Zealand in October and in November 2013, his team drew the first two Tests, won all the three ODIs and lost the only T20I match.

He scored his second ODl century against India in the beginning of the 2014 Asia Cup, but struggled in that match with an injury. Rahim continued to play in the next match against Afghanistan, but the hosts lost the match by 32 runs which was a great disappointment for him and his team. He captained his side in the 2014 World T20, being the hosts, they could not live up to the expectations of the fans as they lost all their matches after qualifying for the main tournament.

Bangladesh toured West Indies in August 2014 and were not able to win a single game. However, Rahim showed his worth by scoring his third Test ton. In September 2014, it was announced that Mashrafe Mortaza will be taking over the ODI captaincy while Rahim continue to be the skipper for the longer format. In the home series that followed, he was the leading run-scorer in ODIs, amassing 213 runs in five matches, including two half-centuries. He was also named the Man of the Series for the tournament.                                    Source

While he has represented Bangladesh 36 times in Tests and in 100 ODIs between 2001 and 2005 he played only 11 first-class and 9 list A matches for Khulna Division in the same period.^[4][5] In 2012 he joined the Dhaka Gladiators and 2015 from Comilla Victorians in the newly formed Bangladesh Premier League twenty20 competition and captained them to the tournament title and led Comilla Victorians clinched the title of the third 3rd Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) .

Steve Smith replaces MS Dhoni as Rising Pune Supergiants captain

MS Dhoni led Rising Pune Supergiants in their debut season last year

Former India skipper MS Dhoni has been replaced by Australia’s Steve Smith as the captain of Rising Pune Supergiants for the upcoming season of Indian Premier League (IPL). The decision comes on the eve of the player auction, on Sunday (February 19).

Dhoni, who recently stepped down from captaincy of India’s limited-overs side, is the only player to have captained in every IPL match he has played. Despite being one of the better performers for the side last year, his personal form was on the wane; he had scored 284 runs in 12 innings at a strike-rate of 135.

In an interview to India Today, RPS team owner Sanjeev Goenka confirmed the development. “We have opted for Steve Smith as captain of RPS for the forthcoming IPL season. We wanted a young captain. We spoke to Steve Smith and he agreed. We have communicated the decision to Dhoni. He is a thorough professional. Dhoni and Smith share a great rapport. MS is ready to help him on the field.”

The 35-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman, who was chosen as the first player in the drafts by RPS last season, had led Chennai Super Kings to two consecutive IPL titles in 2010 and 2011, apart from winning the Champions League T20. He had turned CSK into one of the most lethal forces in T20 club cricket in the world.

However, he couldn’t find similar success with the Pune franchise in the last edition, with several players getting ruled out due to injuries at the start of the tournament. They finished second-last on the points table with only five wins to their credit. It was also the first time that Dhoni had failed to lead his side to the playoffs in IPL

In order to reverse their fortunes, Pune have also released as many as 11 players from the side and are expected to be active in the player auction

RCB and Mitchell Starc part ways ahead of 2017 season

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mitchell Starc have parted ways ahead of the 2017 IPL season; the Australia fast bowler will not be part of the IPL player auction on February 20 either.

RCB will now go into the player auction in Bangalore with two slots for overseas players – they previously had only one – and an additional INR 5 crore (US$ 746,000 approx.) in their purse, which was Starc’s price. RCB now have INR 17.825 crore (US$ 2,660,447 approx.) to spend at the auction.

Starc was part of the RCB franchise since 2014 but played only two tournaments for them. He missed the entire 2016 season because he was recovering from a foot fracture. In 2014, he took 14 at 28.71 apiece, with an economy of 7.49, and in 2015 he claimed 20 wickets at 14.55 apiece with an economy of 6.76.
