#2 Ricky Ponting
With his sharp acumen, Ricky Ponting is one of the most sought-after coaches by various T20 franchises across the globe. Having led Australia in both Tests and ODIs during an extremely productive phase, the iconic batsman is aware of the intricacies within the game.

As a cricketer, Ponting's tryst with the IPL has been forgettable. He scored just 91 runs from ten matches and did not do justice to his massive reputation. However, his stint as head coach played a key role in propelling Mumbai Indians to the IPL title in 2015.
Apart from Rajasthan, Delhi Daredevils are also reportedly eyeing Ponting for the role of head coach. The former Australian skipper will be a great addition to Royals' team staff as his vision and ability to make wise decisions could help alleviate pressure on the fresh set of players.
