The Proteas middle-order batter is playing his debut IPL this year as Rajasthan Royals picked him for INR 1 crore in the IPL 2022 auction. He has been playing for the South African international side since 2018 and has been their dependable member at the top order. He can play attacking cricket once he spends a little time out there in the middle. He is well-equipped to play pace as well as spin and has proved his worth in T20 internationals for South Africa.

Speaking of his T20 record, in 34 T20Is, he has accumulated 933 runs with an excellent average of 38.87 and a competent strike rate of 130.85. He has also expanded his repertoire by playing franchise cricket in various parts of the world such as the Caribbean, Ireland, Netherlands, England and Canada. He has the skill to adapt to different situations and plays with a sense of match awareness.

Jos Buttler has been Rajasthan Royals’ leading man in the batting department and has carried a whole lot of it on his shoulders but the rest of the batters, except Shimron Hetmyer, have not contributed as a unit. The addition of Rassie van der Dussen might just be the right choice to solidify their batting unit. His steady approach and reliable batting may prevent batting collapses which recently affected the Royals and led to their downfall in a few matches. Rassie’s inclusion in the upcoming matches will surely benefit the Royals.
