    England all-rounder Ben Stokes is expected to be sidelined for up to three months with a broken finger, which will require him to undergo surgery.

    Stokes was ruled out for the remainder of the IPL after sustaining the injury during the Rajasthan Royals’ opening match of the IPL earlier this week. The star-player fractured his finger while fielding in the clash against the Punjab Kings.
