RR - 5 Players To Watch Out For In IPL 2019

A dream starts to their Indian Premier League who had unknown faces, Rajasthan Royals surprised everybody with the title triumph in the inaugural season. But the fact is it remained the only diamond to their crown. Barring a third-place finish in the 2013 season, Rajasthan Royals have never looked to stick to their winning formula that once was their surprised weapon.## Just like the Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals to have seen dark days when they were banned for two years. But once they back in 2018, a grand return was expected but unlike CSK, they flattered to deceive again. However, RR made it to the playoffs but the absence of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes did cost them who were the main players to take RR to top four.## Will 2019 be the start of a new chapter for them? Certainly can be. They should take confidence from how they played in the latter part of the tournament in last year and the also the inclusion of Steve Smith who once was their best batsman will be enough to boost their confidence. But we understand that there are five players who will hold the key for Rajasthan Royals.## Here is the list of 5 players to watch out for in IPL 2019 (RR):## 1. Steve Smith (Batsman) - Steve Smith has seen the possibly worst days of a sportsman when he was banned for the one year by Cricket Australia from all the cricket activities after found his involvement in ball-tampering at Newlands against South Africa last year along with David Warner and Camron Bancroft. But now he has returned and will be more hungry to perform at the big stage. It is going to be important not only for RR but Smith as well who will likely be the part of Australia's world cup squad starting later this year. He is surely going to a player to watch out for this season.## A statical view of his IPL career## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 - - - - - - - Overall 69 62 1,703 101 1 5 131.71 ## 2. Rahul Tripathi (Batsman) - Rahul Tripathi was one of the best batsmen for Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017. A classy batsman who can hit the ball hard with ease, Rahul Tripathi is hopeful to play the big role for RR this season. However, barring one or two knocks, he couldn't make his mark last year but the flexibility of him playing at any position makes him a player to watch out for this year IPL.## A statical view of his IPL career## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 12 12 226 80* 0 1 135.32 Overall 26 26 617 93 0 3 142.17 ## 3. Jofra Archer (All-Rounder) - A fiery pacer who can take the bull by the horns with the bat, Jofra Archer is a typical West Indies' all-rounder. Though it is a loss for Windies that he will not represent his own country. The world saw him first in the Big Bash League playing for the Hobart Hurricanes and one is the find of BBL. He made his IPL debut last year and was impressed with the ball. Royals made a mistake by not playing him in the first few matches. But a team is as good as he learns from its mistake, Archer can be the trump card for his side.## A statical view of his IPL career (Batting)## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 10 8 15 8 0 0 71.43 ## Bowling## YearMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon 2018 10 10 15 3/22 0 8.37 ## 4. Krishnappa Gowtham (All-Rounder) - An off-break bowler from Karnataka, Krishnappa Gowtham can hit the ball long. One of the matches last against Mumbai Indian, Gowtham played a blinder of 11-ball 33*. He made his IPL debut last year and can be the finisher RR have been lacked off.## A statical view of his IPL career (Batting)## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 15 13 126 33* 0 0 196.87 ## Bowling## YearMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon 2018 15 15 11 2/12 0 7.80 ## 5. Jaydev Unadkat (Bowler) - The biggest buy of 2018 and 2019, Jaydev Unadkat has a responsibility to justify the trust RR have shown upon him. He was ordinary but still, RR showed faith in him by picking again after releasing from the squad. In Rising Pune Supergiant's successful campaign where they lost in the final in 2017, Jaydev Unadkat was the second highest wicket taker of the tournament with 24 wickets.## A statical view of his IPL career## YearMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon 2018 15 15 11 - 0 9.65 Overall 62 61 67 5/25 2 8.4 ## Follow for more...

The three times winner and defending champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will look to continue their winning streak while the star-filled Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) will have a point to prove.## Just like every season, it is a perfect platform for the young players to become the hero. The history of this tournament itself proves that this has been the stage where heroes are made. The franchises also have never looked hesitate in giving chances to young talent and have provided them the stage where they can showcase their talent.## Earlier in the auction, there were 60 players who were grabbed by the respective franchise. With Jaydev Unadkat and uncapped mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu, Varun Chakravarthy were the highest buys (8.4 Crore each), some of the big names remained unsold in the auction held last year on December 18.## In every season, there have been players who changed the games on single-handedly and have been game changers for their teams. The franchises also have focussed on such players who are willing to give their best shots at the biggest stage. Here are we believe, 5 debutants who can be the game changers for their teams.## 1. Varun Chakravarthy (Bowler, KXIP) - Varun Chakravarthy was the hottest topic of the auction. The franchises were ready to pay big for him but it was Kings XI Punjab that snapped him with whopping INR 8.4 Crore. Varun can bowl with Seven types of variations and that helped him to rose as one of the stars in Tamil Nadu Premier League for Madurai Panthers. TNPL experience helped him become the highest wicket-taker with 22 wickets in the group stage of Vijay Hazare Trophy. He is definitely one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming edition of IPL.## A statical view at his career## FormatMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon List A 9 9 22 5/38 1 4.23 IPL - - - - - - ## 2.

He was on song in the recently concluded Ranji Trophy for Mumbai. During a match of the Ranji Trophy, he hit five sixes in an over and showed his ability to hit the ball hard. It is going to be a great experience for him as he will share a dressing room with two of the greatest batsmen Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.## A statical view at his T20 career (Batting)## FormatMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R.
