#1 Ajinkya Rahane (₹4 crore)

South Africa v India - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Ajinkya Rahane has been a consistent performer with the bat for India overseas

This certainly has to be the wisest pick of them all. An Indian team regular, Ajinkya Rahane will fit quite well into the Rajasthan Royals squad, having already represented them before the franchise's suspension. He would provide Rajasthan with much-needed experience.

Rahane has got all the shots in the book and is ‘cool as a cucumber’ under tense situations. Given his ability to slot in anywhere from the top to the middle order, Rahane is a valuable asset. The Rajasthan management ought to be feeling quite good, buying such a huge name for just ₹4 crore.
