#3 Krishnappa Gowtham

Krishnappa Gowtham

Krishnappa Gowtham played a major role in the campaign of Rajasthan Royals in the last season of IPL. He was a handy all-rounder with the ability to bowl in the power play and contain the run flow. Add to that, he has immense ability to strike the ball cleanly as a finisher. His strike rate of 196.87 in the last IPL was terrific and was the highest in the last season of IPL, showcasing the possibility of how good a game changer he can be.

Rajasthan Royals will once again expect him to shoulder the burden of bowling in the power play overs and get early breakthroughs. While his compatriot Shreyas Gopal will get the luxury of bowling in the middle overs, Gowtham will be entrusted with the tougher tasks for the team.

Krishnappa Gowtham himself will also be looking forward to taking his game to another level and get possible pathways into the National team scenario. For that, IPL 2019 will be crucial and he will turn out to be the game changer Rajasthan Royals need in IPL 2019.

#2 Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson is someone who always had a love story with the IPL tournaments in all the years. His fame and name can be attributed to a large extent to the kind of performances he has showcased in IPL matches over the years. His talent and his impeccable timing of the shots is a treat to watch and every cricket lover would love to watch more of him.

But one thing that has been the issue is his consistency. One day he might turn out to be the Samson we all love to watch, but the other day he might be just another Sanju who gets out playing a shot he should never have tried. It is this inconsistency that has cost him his place not only in the Indian national team but also in the Indian A team where the competition for Indian wicketkeepers is extremely high.

Come IPL 2019, he will be having his first IPL season after his marriage and will be looking forward to changing that inconsistent tag to his name and be the gamechanger for Rajasthan Royals.

#1 Ashton Turner

Ashton Turner

Not many Indians knew about Ashton Turner before the IPL 2019 auctions. When Rajasthan Royals picked him in the dying moments of the auction, many interpreted it as an act of desperation on the part of the IPL team. But the truth was that the pick was a conscious decision, considering his exploits in the Big Bash League. Everyone understood the kind of research Rajasthan Royals had done on Ashton Turner when he took the Indian bowling lineup for a ride in the fourth ODI against India, thus making a name for himself in the international circuit as a finisher.

He is expected to continue his red hot form when he turns out in Rajasthan colours, he surely can be the difference for the team which lacks a quality foreign finisher in the side. The added advantage that Turner can also bowl spin adds to his value as a fifth or sixth bowler for the side. Ashton Turner could be the game changer for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2019.
