Key Batsmen To Watch Out For :
Sanju Samson:
Sanju Samson will, once again, lead the team in the upcoming edition of the tournament. He will, unarguably, be one of the key batsmen in the team. His performance with the bat is vital to the team’s fortune. Samson enjoyed an outstanding season with the bat last year and he would be hopeful of a similar season this time around as well.
Jos Buttler:
There is no denying the fact that Jos Buttler is one of the best T20 batsmen in modern-day cricket. He is known to give destructive starts at the top of the order, however, Rajasthan Royals might play him in the middle-order this year. He might have to do to the finisher’s role in the upcoming edition of the tournament.
Key All-rounders To Watch Out For:
James Neesham
Someone like James Neesham will provide the much-needed balance in the team. He will be bat at the lower middle-order and also provide an option with the ball. Neesham could be a useful asset to the team this year if they use him wisely.
Key Bowlers To Watch Out For:
Trent Boult
Rajasthan Royals have managed to acquire the services of Trent Boult for the upcoming edition of the tournament. They would be pretty delighted with the signing. Boult has done exceedingly well for Mumbai Indians in the last two editions. It will be interesting to see if he could dish out similar performances for a new franchise as well.
Yuzvendra Chahal
India’s leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the best spinners in world cricket right now. Chahal has been a revelation for RCB, over the years.
Surprisingly, the Royals decided to let him go, which means he will play for a new franchise in Rajasthan Royals this year. He will be one of the most important players in the side. His four-over spells are definitely going to be crucial for the team.
Prasidh Krishna
Prasidh Krishna is steadily rising through the ranks in international cricket. He was outstanding with the ball in the ODI series against West Indies. The Indian seamer has shown his class a number of times in IPL while playing for KKR. He will be playing for Rajasthan Royals this year and is expected to do well for them.
