Stokes provided Pune with just the shot in the arm they needed after a slow start to their innings having been put in to bat.
They had scored just one boundary when Stokes strode to the crease in the seventh over, but the Durham all-rounder changed that when he found his groove.
On a slow and tricky pitch, he managed to clear the boundary on three occasions as his blitz helped Rising Pune to a respectable 148 total.
By then taking the wickets of Sunrisers' superb top order, Stokes proved once again just how valuable he can be in all the game's disciplines, per cricket writer Harsha Bhogle:
Delhi went into Saturday's clash in decent form having won back-to-back matches following a run of five defeats in a row.
However, Mumbai categorically outplayed them and set Delhi a target of 213 to win, Lendl Simmons and Kieron Pollard both scoring in the 60s.
In response, Delhi were skittled out for a wretched 66. Karun Nair top-scored with 21, while Sanju Samson—who fell first ball of the innings—Rishabh Pant and Kagiso Rabada fell for ducks.
