Pune all-rounder Stokes is fit and raring to go

IANS  |  Kolkata 

Rising Supergiant's all-rounder Ben Stokes is fit for Wednesday's Indian League (IPL) game against Knight Riders, a team spokesperson confirmed.

Stokes, from England who hit a whirlwind 63-ball 103 to help recover from 10/3 and go on to win by six wickets against Gujarat Lions on Monday, was seen struggling to run with cramps at the end of his essay.

"There are no issues with him. He has rested well and is raring to go against tomorrow," the official told IANS over phone after Steve Smith's side touched base in on Tuesday evening.

Stokes missed out on Pune's home encounter with KKR when the former champions won by seven wickets with 11 balls to spare.

KKR are second on the points table with 14 points from 10 games while are fourth, having collected 12 points from their 10 outings.
