Rajasthan Royals - Jofra Archer

The Rajasthan Royals don't have depth in their bowling lineup and lack quality strike bowlers if you look past Jofra Archer and in case he leaves, RR will be in trouble.

Archer is the perfect wicket-taking bowler who bowls at a great pace and with perfect accuracy which he surprisingly manages despite his short run-up while bowling. He has crafty cutters, cross-seam deliveries, back of the hand slower ones and the loaded steaming yorker in his arsenal and he unleashes all of them at some point in the game. He's the complete package and is very hard to get runs off in the death.

Apart from Archer, there are players like Oshane Thomas or even Varun Aaron but the problem is that they don't have enough IPL experience and haven't done consistently well on Indian soil. Also, both of them leak far too many runs than can be warranted but if they're properly used and groomed, they can be of some use once Archer leaves.
