Ben Stokes – A big ticket allrounder, had a great season for the RPS but failed to create the same impression for the Rajasthan Royals, who will need him to step up with both bat and bowl
Jos Butler – Has been in great form, and has the ability to win games on his own
Sanju Samson – A big buy with a lot of expectation on him, but has not delivered to potential yet. RR will need him to have a good season to stabilize the middle order
Jofra Archer - A T20 specialist bowler, who can make useful contributions with the bat as well
Ajinkya Rahane – After having a mixed IPL with the bat last year, he will be hoping to do what he does best, that is to bat deep and glue the innings together.
