The good boy of the Indian cricket Ajinkya Rahane was expectedly retained by Rajasthan Royals using Right to match card. He is one of the fluent batsmen going around in the world cricket currently and doesn’t alter his technique in the shortest format of the game. He plays all the textbook shots which are absolutely pleasing to the eyes. The great cricketing brain was another steal deal in this list as Royals would be happy that they got him back for Rs. 4 Crore.

Rahane will open the innings for them without any doubt as he scored all his 4167 runs batting at the same position in 161 games. As many as 33 half-centuries is a testimony to his consistency and he has also registered a century in this format. His strike rate of 118.54 is debatable but he can hold one end and guide the team through. He would also be wanting to improve on his strike rate big time in this season. Brace yourselves to watch Rahane bat in blues once again after the break of a couple of years.
