#6 Rajasthan Royals: Heinrich Klaasen

Heinrich Klaasen came to prominence during India's 2017/18 tour of South Africa. He played well against the Indian spinners and was their standout performer in the limited-overs series.
Though he went unsold in the IPL 2018 auction, Royals signed him as a replacement for Steve Smith. He is a regular in the current South African limited-overs set up and Royals could have retained him for the 2019 season.
