IPL 2021: 3 Teams that can pick Dawid Malan in the auction

3. Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals have a good side coming into this IPL. But, they have made some releases that will surely change how they go about their game in the upcoming season of the IPL. Steve Smith’s departure from the side has left a huge void to fill in. As a captain, they have resorted to Sanju Samson, however, they still need a top-notch overseas batsman. 

Dawid Malan could just be the perfect pick for Rajasthan. He can open the batting for Rajasthan, come at no.3 or move to no.4 if required. He would give them flexibility in the top order batting, something which they lacked in the previous season. On top of that, they have also traded Robbie Uthappa, an opening slot that can be cashed in by Malan easily. 

In addition to this, the Rajasthan Royals really like having English players. This might seem a little odd, but with Jos Butler, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Dawid Malan, Royals would have an ideal overseas line-up. There is a wicketkeeper-batsman, a proper all-rounder, a bowling all-rounder, and a top-order batsman.
