England's Ben Stokes fetched a<br />

staggering $2.17 million in the Indian<br />

Premier League's (IPL) player<br />

auction on Monday, with the Rising<br />

Pune Supergiants splashing out in<br />

a frenzied bidding war to land the<br />

explosive all-rounder.<br />

The Pune franchise fought off<br />

Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi and<br />

Hyderabad to get the 25-year-old,<br />

paying 145 million Indian rupees<br />

despite his limited availability for<br />

the Twenty20 competition.<br />

With England hosting South<br />

Africa in a one-day series in May,<br />

Stokes is set to miss the final phase<br />

of the April 5-May 21 tournament,<br />

yet the bidding surged from his<br />

base price of 20 million rupees.<br />

Pune owner Sanjiv Goenka told<br />

reporters that Stokes, now the<br />

most expensive overseas player in<br />

IPL history, would bring something<br />

new to the team for the 10th edition<br />

of the tournament.<br />

"He's a complete player and he<br />

completes our squad. We've been<br />

lacking this one genre of player,"<br />

he said.<br />

"We knew he was going to be<br />

there for the first 14 games ... We<br />

pretty much knew we were not going<br />

to get him for below this price."<br />

Tymal Mills, Stokes's England<br />

Twenty20 team mate, was snapped<br />

up for 120 million rupees by Royal<br />

Challengers Bangalore, who will<br />

look to benefit from the left-arm<br />

fast bowler's ability to combine<br />

great pace with economy.<br />

All-rounder Chris Woakes was<br />

the third England player to get<br />

a hefty payday, going to Kolkata<br />

Knight Riders for 42 million rupees.<br />

Other big-earners included New<br />

Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult<br />

and South Africa paceman Kagiso<br />

Rabada, who both went for 50<br />

million rupees to Kolkata Knight<br />

Riders and Delhi Daredevils respectively.<br />

England's limited-overs captain<br />

Eoin Morgan went to Kings XI Punjab<br />

for a relatively modest 20 million<br />

rupees.<br />

Delhi Daredevils bought Australian<br />

pacem<br />

3 players - 18 Indian and nine overseas -<br />

Lions, Kings XI and Mumbai. Kolkata Knight<br />
