IPL 2019: Predicting the vice-captain of each team. 

#6 Rajasthan Royals

Jos Buttler and Ajinkya Rahane

Rajasthan Royals have confirmed that Ajinkya Rahane will be their skipper for the upcoming season, and they will need to find his deputy. Last season it was Jos Buttler who assisted him as vice-captain. However, Butler is expected to leave the IPL midway this season along with Steve Smith and Ben Stokes. There is a possibility that Jofra Archer might also not be available for the entire season.

At a stage in their season, Ajinkya Rahane will be the only international regular in their squad. Therefore, after the departure of the star names, the management will have to look for a couple of youngsters in their squad to assist India's Test vice-captain.

Ashton Turner is a decent option as he has captaincy experience in a T20 league. The lanky all-rounder captained Perth Scorchers in the initial stages of the Big Bash this season. Sanju Samson is another candidate for the role as he has a lot of IPL experience and has captained Kerala in the past.

Final Say: Jos Buttler (1st half)/ Ashton Turner (2nd half)
