A disappointed Ben Stokes exited the ongoing 2018 IPL Season 11 but thanked Rajasthan Royals for their support as he returned to
England.
The pricey England all-rounder, who was named the 'Most Valuable Player' at last year's IPL, failed to pass the score of 50 for the Royals this season, averaging less than 17 in 13 matches.
Having struggled with injury at the start of the tournament, Stokes' contribution with the ball was also unimpressive as he took eight wickets at an average of 38.
With a price tag of Rs 12.5 crore, Stokes was expected to continue his scintillating form from the last season when he played for Rising Pune Supergiant but failed miserably on all accounts.
Many commentators believe Stokes' off-field troubles have blunted his performance on the pitch.
Rajasthan Royals will play their last league game against RCB @ Jaipur on Saturday May 19,2018
Note
In the 2017 edition of IPL, Ben Stokes scored 316 runs with the strike rate of 142.98 in 11 innings. He also picked up 12 wickets for RPS which made him the most expensive player of this year's player auction.
