Rajasthan Royals- Rahul Tripathi

Rajasthan Royals have made a comeback into the Indian Premier League after a gap of 4 years. The 11th season didn't begin well for the side with their captain Steve Smith being banned for a year.
Rajasthan appointed Rahane as the captain of their team for this year. Rahane is a calm and a composed batsman but his captaincy hasn't been characteristic of him. He seems to have got his batting order wrong and the batsmen are underperforming as a result.
Rahul Tripathi has been the biggest casualty of this mistake. He was a great success at the top of the order in Pune but Rahane has preferred to use him as a finisher. Tripathi seems to be struggling with his new role of finisher while Stokes who has been promoted to play at number 3 position has been struggling in building the innings. A swap between these players would help both the players and the team
