#1 Rahul Tripathi
The 27-year-old right-handed opening batsman from Jharkhand had an incredible IPL last year playing for the Rising Pune Supergiants. He opened the innings for the RPS in almost every occasion and got them off to a start more often than not.

He is a belligerent hitter who is not afraid of striking the ball in the air and can take full toll of the first 6 overs of field restrictions. He scored runs at an impressive strike rate of 146.44 with a decent average of 27.93 which consists of 2 half-centuries as well.
This year, he is anticipated partnering Ajinkya Rahane at the top of the order and will look to get the Royals off to a decent start.
