#2 Mustafizur Rahman
Mustafizur Rahman would be one of the best options for the Rajasthan Royals due to his impressive record in the shortest format of the game. The left-arm fast bowler was one of the top wicket-takers in the World Cup last year and he followed that up with an excellent showing in the Bangladesh Premier League, where he picked up 20 wickets at a strike rate of 13.3 and an economy rate of 7.01.
Mustafizur has picked up 135 T20 wickets at a strike rate of 17.9 in his career. His economy rate of 7.33 is excellent for someone who bowls the majority of his overs during the power play and at the death.
The former Sunrisers Hyderabad player has the ability to stem the flow of runs during the death overs with his wide range of slower balls. He can also bowl the perfect yorker at 135-140 kph.
"The Fizz" is arguably one of the better death bowlers in the world and he will undoubtedly be one of the top contenders to replace the injured Archer.
