Rajasthan Royals team is looking very strong. The team has a very strong batting line-up. There are power hitters and a strong bowling attack, but the team lacks all-rounders. In such a situation, a combination in playing-11 can be difficult.
Rajasthan will play its first match in the current season against Lucknow Supergiants on March 24. The team that won the title in the first season of the league is still waiting for the second title. Rajasthan traveled to the finals in the 2022 season, but the newly formed Gujarat Titans under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya dashed the team’s dream. Last season the team stood at number 5.
The batting strengthened with the arrival of Shubham Dubey, Powell strengthened the end
Rajasthan Royals bought 5 players by spending Rs 14.30 crore in the last auction. However, in the mini-auction, 3 players’ places in the squad were still vacant. The franchise strengthened the innings by including finisher Rovman Powell and uncapped Shubham Dubey. Nandre Berger worth Rs 50 lakh strengthens the fast bowling.
Possible play-11
Sanju Samson (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Shubham Dubey, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma and Avesh Khan.
Impact: Riyan Parag
The Rajasthan franchise is yet to pick Prasidh Krishna’s replacement.
Strength
- Jaiswal, Butler and Samson in the top order: Explosive openers Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and captain Sanju Samson make Rajasthan’s top order strong. The middle order was strengthened by the addition of Shubham Dubey, Riyan Parag and Rovman Powell.
- Names like Boult in pace battery, Ashwin-Chahal in spin: The team’s bowling department is already excellent. There are bowlers like Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen, Trent Boult and Avesh Khan. Apart from the pacers, there are spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin and Adam Zampa. Chahal is the league’s leading wicket taker.
- Many backup options: The Rajasthan franchise has also prepared a bench strength in the current season. The franchise bought excellent backups in the form of Avesh, Berger.
Weakness
- Not good for everyone: Rajasthan’s biggest weakness is the general department. The team does not have any of the best in the world. The team expressed confidence in Riyan Parag many times, but except for 1 or 2 games, he could not do anything amazing.
- Lack of continuity as a team: Rajasthan lacks continuity as a team. The team had won the title in the very first season of the league, but since then they could not reach the finals for a long time. In 2022, Gujarat had broken Rajasthan’s dream of becoming the champion once again. Last time the team was number 5.
- Challenge to choose the perfect combination: Due to the absence of all-rounders, the Rajasthan team management will have the challenge of choosing the perfect combination, although an impact player may be an option. It is possible that the team will miss the fifth bowler. Batting can become weak as bowling strength increases.
