⏩ Opening Batsmen:
Rajasthan Royals opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler are the biggest assets for the team. However, opening batsman, Yashasvi Jaiswal did not perform as expected in the 1st four matches of Rajasthan (RR). Still, he is a class player and will perform any time the team needs him the most.
