IPL 2015 - Rajasthan Royals' ideal playing XI

Picking a talented unknown cricketer out of nowhere and slotting him in the playing XI straightaway is something you always associate with the Rajasthan Royals. The inaugural IPL Champions have always been known for their brand of Cricket and Rahul Dravid's presence over the years has also made them the neutral's favourites.No matter what playing XI you predict for them, in the end you must always expect the unexpected. Going forward to this season, they have 13 uncapped players in their squad and in all likelihood, most of them would be getting a look-in at some stage of the tournament. Inspite of that, let's take a look at their ideal playing XI:

#1 Ajinkya Rahane

Mumbai Indians have always had a star-studded line-up, so for someone who wasn’t known for his T20 exploits, Ajinkya Rahane had to move elsewhere in order to play regularly, and Royals gave him the perfect platform.

Since then, he hasn’t looked back as he is one of the first names on their team sheet. Last season, he was their joint top run getter and this time he would be looking to perform even better.
