England's Ben Stokes could earn "millions" when he enters the Indian Premier League auction, says India batsman Yuvraj Singh.
The auction for the 20-over franchise competition is scheduled to be held in Bangalore on Monday, 20 February.
When asked how much Stokes was worth, Yuvraj, who went for a record £1.6m in 2015, said: "A couple of million.
"He's a quality hitter, fast bowler and fielder. He'll definitely get the big bucks. He brings a lot to the table."
Yuvraj, 35, has lined up against Stokes, 25, in the recent one-day and Twenty20 series between India and England, and has enjoyed watching England's talisman close up.
