IPL: Top contenders to score a ton for their respective franchises

#6 Rajasthan Royals - D' Arcy Short

One of the most promising prospects from Australia, D' Arcy Short in no time has earned himself a name of a flamboyant T20 player. Representing the Hobart Hurricanes in Big Bash League, Short scored a magnificent 122* to register the highest individual score in the history of the league.

He indeed was a smart buy for the Royals as the little man can be expected to go big in his maiden IPL stint. He is likely to bat in the top three and is one of the front-runners for amassing big scores in the league. His ability to hit the ball hard and clear the fence with ease makes him a reliable T20 player. Rajasthan would be relying on him to provide them the much-needed firepower at the top of the order so as to tear apart the opposition bowlers. He thus becomes an important overseas player after the departure of Steve Smith.
