#4 Rajasthan Royals (RR) – Overseas talent

With the come back of Steve Smith for the upcoming IPL season, Rajasthan Royals will be having a huge morale boost to the team. Jos Buttler finished as the 6th highest run-scorer during the previous edition as he amassed 548 runs in 13 matches at an average of 54.80 and a phenomenal strike rate of 155.24. He is expected to make a major impact once again.

Another exceptionally talented all-rounder with RR is Ben Stokes, who failed to justify his high price tag last time around and will look to make amends in IPL 2019. Kiwi spinner Ish Sodhi has also been in decent form lately and can be used effectively by the Rajasthan-based franchise. Liam Livingstone is expected to make his worth count considering his recent form.

Ashton Turner has also been roped in, who recently played a match-winning 84 off 43 deliveries in the 4th ODI against India. The lanky Aussie all-rounder can set the league ablaze if he can repeat such performances with the bat in the IPL. Young speedster Oshane Thomas is another overseas talent to watch out for.  Jofra Archer was exceptional in the last edition as he clinched 15 wickets in 10 matches played last season. He had scalped 18 wickets in 15 BBL matches at an economy rate of 7.53 and was a key figure for the Hobart Hurricanes.

Rajasthan Royals will have a tough time deciding which overseas players to have in their starting XI because they have so many good options.
