#4 Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler and Manan Vohra

Rajasthan Royals had an abysmal start to the IPL season 11, and they needed one of their overseas players to step up, and win games for them. Jos Buttler did what the doctor ordered for RR.

While the partners around him were constantly changing given their poor performances, Jos was the rock that single-handedly brought them to the playoffs. In the 13 matches that he played for the team in blue, Jos Buttler scored a mammoth 548 runs at a strike rate above 150.

RR went into the IPL 2019 Auction with a goal of finding a credible opener to support Buttler at the top, and have brought the uncapped Indian opener in Manan Vohra. Vohra has played around 50 matches in the IPL and has scored more than 1000 runs. With a strike rate above 130, no ground is big enough when Manan is on the flow.
