Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has told the team management to target Ben Stokes at the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction on February 4.

Kohli had told reporters after Stokes’ match-winning performance in the Kolkata ODI that He's (Stokes) a guy with great character, he is always fighting to win games for England. We have seen that from him in Test cricket and today he was really motivated to win the game for them,”

Appreciating the England all-rounder’s commitment on the field, Kohli further added, "You could tell from his body language. The way he bowled, the way he batted and the way he was running in the end as well, while he was batting. I mean every side is pleased to have cricketers like that.

I thought he came out against players who only have partial availability for the season.  

 

Stokes will get picked up and will get paid top $$$ to practice his trundler bowling in pressure situations.  You are welcome ECB and England fans!

Only here could a guy who regularly bowls mid to high 80s and capable of hitting and surpassing 90mph from time to time be called a trundler :no:.

In ICF lingo - trundler is an ineffective bowler - no pacer is safe, regardless is speed metrics!  

 

And you can't deny that Ben's white ball bowling needs work - a lot of work.

RCB needs a good overseas bowler or a fit forever Mitchell Starc. It is their bowling which costs them every time. Stoakes bowling isn't good enough for him to be considered as one of the four overseas players in the playing x1. 

 

Gayle, De Villers are going to play more than likely every game when fit. So the two spots will be usually shared by Watson, Jordan, Starc, or some new bie. Watson is a better twenty20 all rounder than Stoakes.

Good....I mean time opposition teams got  fair chance to chase ridiculous targets set by RCB at the miniature Chinnu stadium.

 

Jokes apart...Stokes is born to play this format.....expect a Watson 2008 like season from him...welcome to the big leagues you potential future ATG

WTF, RCB and MI buy all the good overseas players and don't play them. They pay big money to sit players on the bench. :facepalm:The weaker teams like DD or KXI need him far more.

yup it harsh, but if a guy hit 135 but is accurate at death and picks wickets he wont be called trundler a guy who can hit an occassional 140 but hovers around 135 without ability to pick periodic wickets in flat surfaces is dissed a trundler, there are a few such in india V Kumar,A Mithun etc.

It's okay, you guys improved after Vijay took over as captain. :angel:

 

You guys need to buy a player to be the backbone of your batting lineup, preferably one not dropped by their national side. Maybe Guptill, Anderson, or Morgan. I would say KP, but he never seems to stay healthy for a whole season. :noidea:
