IPL 2023: CSK's Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja smash bowlers all around the park | WATCH

After a disappointing performance in the previous edition of the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL), MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are looking to make a comeback in the upcoming season. To strengthen their squad for the new season, CSK signed superstar Ben Stokes at the IPL 2023 auction, adding to their already impressive lineup consisting Ravindra Jadeja. The four-time IPL champions had to spend a significant amount, INR 16.25 crore, to acquire Stokes for the upcoming season.

Stokes, who recently joined the CSK camp for the IPL 2023, was seen hitting gigantic sixes that went viral on social media. Jadeja also tried his hands in hitting sixes during the practice session.

While Stokes' acquisition was a significant move, CSK had also retained star players such as Dhoni, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, and Deepak Chahar ahead of the IPL 2023 auction. With Stokes and Jadeja leading the charge, the former champions will be looking to add another trophy to their collection in the upcoming season of the world's richest T20 league.
