The much-awaited IPL auction for the 2017 season is now going on in Bangalore. Ben Stokes and Tymal Mills were the hottest picks among the eight franchises, and both the players were sold out after intense bidding. The Pune Supergiants bought Stokes for a whopping 2.16 million USD, while Tymal Mills succeeded in grabbing 1.8 million USD.

Will Stokes bring luck to the Pune Supergiants?

This is for the first time that Ben Stokes is competing in the IPL, and in his debut season, the English all-rounder emerged as the highest paid International player in the history of Indian Premier League.

The bidding race for Stokes have almost evacuated the wallet of Pune, and the bank broken management will be entirely out of the show in the coming hours.
