Australia captain Steve Smith says England all-rounder Ben Stokes has been a "perfect fit" at Indian Premier League side Rising Pune Supergiant.

Stokes, who was signed by Pune for a record £1.7m for an overseas player in the IPL, smashed 103 from 63 balls in Sunday's win over Gujarat Lions.

"We were very excited to get him," said Pune skipper Smith.

"I had said before the auction to the guys, 'just do what you have to to get him'."
