#3 Rajasthan Royals - David Miller from Kings XI Punjab

The Rajasthan Royals played out of their skins last season to make it to the playoffs. With their captain Steve Smith suspended from cricket, Ajinkya Rahane did a very commendable job in leading the Royals. Royals have plenty of options at the top in the form of Rahul Tripathi, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith.
It’s the middle order that is a problem for the inaugural IPL champions. A middle order comprising of Henrich Klassen, Stuart Binny and Krishanappa Gowtham hardly inspires confidence. Ben Stokes had a torrid time with the bat last year.
One player that can help them solve this problem is David Miller from Kings XI Punjab. Punjab has one of the strongest batting lineups in the IPL. They already have Chris Gayle, Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Finch fighting for the overseas batting slots.
It would be a prudent decision to sell Miller who may be surplus to their requirements. Miller has big experience of playing in the IPL and is also a gun fielder.
