IPL 2019: 3 Rajasthan Royals players to watch out for

IPL 2019 is just a few days away as it is scheduled to kick off on March 23. The first team to win the IPL title, Rajasthan Royals, will start their campaign on March 23 against Kings XI Punjab at their home ground Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

After winning the cup in the very first IPL season, the Royals haven't been able to lift the trophy again. Last season, they surprisingly qualified for the playoffs at the very last moment but eventually, they got out of the tournament after being defeated by KKR in the eliminator.

The Royals have a decent squad for the upcoming edition. So they will surely want to get their hands on the IPL trophy for the second time.

Here, we take a look at 3 players from Rajasthan to watch out for.

#3 Oshane Thomas

West Indies' new fast bowling sensation Oshane Thomas has already made a name of himself in a very short period. He is said to be the next big thing in West Indian cricket. He is a bowler who can consistently bowl over 145 kph.

Thomas made his ODI and T20I debut during the Windies' tour of India in 2018 and impressed everyone with his fast and furious bowling.

CPL 2018 proved to be a breakthrough tournament for the Jamaican fast bowler as he bowled exceptionally well in CPL 2018. Thomas picked 18 wickets from just 10 matches at an excellent average of 17.66 and was the second leading wicket taker of the tournament.

The Windies speedster was bought by the Royals for INR 1.1 crores at the IPL auctions 2019. Thomas will add more firepower to the Royals' fast bowling attack. With the addition of Thomas, Rajasthan's pace battery has become even more furious as they already have Jofra Archer and Varun Aaron in their fast bowling attack. The trio of Archer, Thomas, and Aaron will be a treat to watch in IPL 2019.
