One of the weaker teams going into the tournament but their overseas players aren't too bad.

 

[Sahil 7]

RR they made a mess by not retaining yusuf pathan .and retaining warne that was a another poor decision from shilpa shetty warne is now 41 age so if they put him in the auction list they can easily buy him i don't think any other franchise have given him more then 3 or 4 crores

 

[AbhishekS]

I don't rate them as a weak team. They have a good bunch of overseas players like Warne, Taylor, Tait, Watson and Collingwood and you cannot predict much with the Indian players, they deliver when required.

Dravid would come handy to the side to stabilize the inning if some early wickets fall, but we shouldn't forget that even this guy has the ability to score runs easily at a SR of more than 120.

Aakash Chopra would be the dark-horse, after having miserable 2-3 consecutive years, he was back with a bang scoring a triple hundred in Ranji. He is one guy who will be full of confidence and raring to go.

The best thing for Rajasthan is an inspirational leader. Warne is the only foreign player I can think of who can make the budding Indian players feel comfortable and give them the confidence to perform in front of the huge crowd.

This is a team to look out for.

 

[Chewie]

This is a domestic tournament (basically) so Taylor will smash everyone everywhere.

 

[JD10]

Ross Taylor is going to play a big part if this team is going to get anywhere near winning it. Apart from Dravid they havn't got any Indian basically.

 

[AbhishekS]

This is a domestic tournament (basically) so Taylor will smash everyone everywhere.

Didn't he do that in the WC too!

 

[Chewie]

He only smashed some terrible Pakistani bowling

 

[JD10]

It was some village bowling by Pakistan though

 

[Dravid_Fan]

The new jersey

Here's my RR XI for the 1st game -

Swapnil Asnodkar (w)
Shane Watson
Rahul Dravid
Ross Taylor
Ajinkya Rahane
Faiz Fazal
Johan Botha or Shaun Tait (depends on pitch conditions)
Shane Warne (c)
Siddharth Trivedi
Amit Singh
Deepak Chahar

 

[Cricketman]

Since when does Asnodkar keep?

 

[crazyrahul]

Since when does Asnodkar keep?

I don't think Rajasthan Royals have any special wicket-keeper in the squad. Will Dravid keep?

----------

I just read Rajasthan has wicketkeeper in "Rohit Jhalani". Anyone knows who he is?

 

[Dravid_Fan]

They've got Pinal Shah to keep.

 

[AbhishekS]

Pinal Shah will be the keeper. I can't see Dravid keeping unless there is an urgency due to some injuries.

 

[crazyrahul]

They've got Pinal Shah to keep.

I didn't know they have bought Pinal Shah.

Here's my RR XI for the 1st game -

Swapnil Asnodkar (w)
Shane Watson
Rahul Dravid
Ross Taylor
Ajinkya Rahane
Faiz Fazal
Johan Botha or Shaun Tait (depends on pitch conditions)
Shane Warne (c)
Siddharth Trivedi
Amit Singh
Deepak Chahar

So in my playing XI, Pinal will come in for Faiz fazal.
