IPL 2020: 5 Players who are likely to miss a few games
Some of the players may miss either a handful of matches at the start of the IPL 2020, or at the end of the tournament as well.
4. Ben Stokes (Rajasthan Royals)
Rajasthan Royals bought Ben Stokes in the auction for IPL 2018 for INR 12.5 crores and has retained him ever since. Stokes has proved to be a game-changer for them on numerous occasions with either the bat or the ball and hence is invaluable for them.
Stokes is also coming off the miraculous year of 2019, where he could do no wrong and won the 50-over World Cup for England and then had a superlative Ashes series. In 2020, he started off well with a brilliant performance against South Africa including a century in Tests and valuable contributions in England’s T20I series win.
Stokes, like Curran, is a valued and unmissable member of the England team and the vice-captain of the Test side as well. He has been named in the England squad for the Sri Lanka tour and most likely will be named for the West Indies series at home as well.
This means he is most likely to miss a few matches for RR at the start of the tournament given that the Sri Lanka tour ends on March 31 and England may call up their players early for a camp for Windies series.
