After experiencing heel soreness following a practice session for the Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Ben Stokes is hoping to be healthy for what is perhaps the greatest franchise game on the Indian calendar, according to The Indian Express.
After receiving a cortisone injection to his left knee as part of a treatment plan to be fully healthy for The Ashes in the summer, Ben Stokes began his Indian Premier League season as a “specialist hitter.”
Ben Stokes is essential to CSK’s middle-order lineup since he gives their Indian batting lineup some structure. The English star, who was purchased by CSK for a significant sum of money (16.25 Cr), will have to wait a little longer to resume his bowling training program.
On Saturday, April 8, the 31-year-old is thought to have a 70-30 chance of playing against the Mumbai Indians.
