IPL 2020 Auction: Steve Smith's Rajasthan Royals need big-hitting Indians at top, domestic pacers

Firstpost  

Rajasthan’s four big names – Smith, Stokes, Buttler, and Archer – are all overseas players. Rajasthan in 2019 Rajasthan’s acquisitions in 2019 included Jaydev Unadkat, Varun Aaron, and Oshane Thomas, all excellent fast bowlers but with ordinary economy rates in T20 cricket. Major holes to plug Rajasthan’s four big names – Smith, Stokes, Buttler, and Archer – are all overseas players. Jaiswal is yet to play a domestic T20 match, but his Vijay Hazare Trophy numbers – 564 runs at 112.80, a strike rate in excess of a hundred, a double-hundred, 25 sixes in six innings – will certainly make him hot property at the auctions.
