IPL 2019: 3 squads that look the weakest on paper

#1 Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals is arguably the weakest team going into the IPL 2019. Known as the dark-horses of the league, Rajasthan never picked fancy players and prefer to build a modest squad.

This time around, one big mistake that the RR have done is building their team around Steve Smith, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, all of whom would be leaving halfway through the tournament. The foreign roster predominantly consists of English and Australian players which is not ideal in this edition.

This Indian core too looks like lacking penetration and experience. The franchise has not officially announced the captain but it seems that Ajinkya Rahane will pick up from where he left off last season since Steve Smith might be unavailable for the last leg of the tournament.
