England all-rounder Ben Stokes has joined the Chennai Super Kings squad for the upcoming IPL season. On Friday, Stokes also did his first practice session with his franchise, where he also hit long sixes during the batting. This video of Stokes has been shared by CSK himself from his social media account, in which he is hitting long sixes.
CSK bought Stokes in the mini auction last December for Rs 16.25 crore. It is difficult to say which batting position Stokes will be seen playing in this IPL season, but there should be no exaggeration if MS Dhoni sends him to open with Ruturaj Gaikwad. If we talk about the video shared by CSK, then Stokes can be seen hitting two long sixes in this video.
Ben Stokes Hit Long Sixes In The Nets
Fans are very fond of this video and express their enthusiasm by commenting. Let us tell you that Stokes did not register himself for the IPL 2022 auction. In 2021, he was ruled out of the first half of the IPL season due to a finger injury. He later opted out of the UAE phase of the tournament, taking a break from cricket due to mental health reasons.

However, Stokes will likely play most matches in the upcoming IPL. Stokes also indicated that he might miss some games in the last phase of the IPL 2023 season as he would like to return to England for the one-off Test match against Ireland before the Ashes start. In such a situation, if the CSK team qualifies for the playoffs this time, they may have to be deprived of the services of Ben Stokes.
