Rajasthan Royals head into the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on the back of a promising 2018 season. Despite their Aussie star, Steve Smith, serving out a one-year ban, the team managed to reach the playoffs.
With Smith ready for a return to top-flight cricket, the Ajinkya Rahane-led team will be hoping to go a few steps further in IPL 2019.
The Royals lacked proper all-rounders last season and thus they bought a barrage of all-rounders at the auction.
Also, they have bought a lot of fast bowlers to strengthen bowling-attack. Talking about batsmen, the Royals will be dependent on the overseas stars once again. Smith, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are going to be the backbone of Rajasthan’s batting. The team also has more batting options this time around.
