IPL 2019: One fringe player from each team who can impress if given a chance

Rajasthan Royals - Manan Vohra or Liam Livingstone

The Rajasthan Royals have a lot of quality Indian youngsters in their side but seem weak when it comes to their overall team balance. Their 4 best overseas players will leave midway through the tournament leaving a very inexperienced 4 to deal with the league's competitive nature. Liam Livingstone is one of the backup players who is more of a fringe player than a mainstream choice.

He's actually a very good all-rounder who has a great strike-rate batting in the middle order. He's also a very handy leg-spinner who can bowl economically and break partnerships if needed.

Manan Vohra was one of the closing buys for the Royals in the auction but he's a very experienced IPL batsman and can shine if he's provided with enough chances this season. He has scored over 1000 runs in the IPL at a good strike-rate and average but is likely to be beaten by Rahul Tripathi and Sanju Samson to playing XI spots.
