All-rounders: Riyan Parag, Jason Holder & Ravichandran Ashwin
With the acquisition of Jason Holder, Rajasthan Royals’ department of all-rounders looks stronger this time. Apart from Holder, RR have Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin. The trio together form a perfect all-rounder set complementing each other.
Bowlers: Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen & Yuzvendra Chahal
Jason Holder has taken Obed McCoy’s place and Kuldeep Sen is expected to take Prasidh Krishna’s place. Trent Boult would continue to lead the pace department with Yuzvendra Chahal leading the spin department.
