Rajasthan Royals full squad and player stats: Yashasvi Jaiswal is a promising cricketer and the franchise have so far shown immense faith in the youngster.

Rajasthan Royals full squad and player stats: After enjoying a great outing in UAE last year, where he emerged as the leading run scorer from the Royals' camp, Sanju Samson has been handed with an additional responsiblity this time. The Kerala cricketer was inducted as the team's new leader and the cricketer will look to thrive in this role too. With the bat Samson has always been a great addition to the side and his staggering 2584 runs from 103 IPL innings is a reflection of it. The batsman also has two centuries and thirteen half-centuries under his name. (IPL)

Rajasthan Royals full squad and player stats: A regular custodian at the Royals' camp now, Riyan Parag on few occasions have delighted the fans with Assam's traditional dance form the Bihu.

Rajasthan Royals full squad and player stats: Mustafizur Rahman, who is currently engaged with national duties and will also miss the first two matches of the season, is a key addition to the side, especially now with Jofra Archer's availability getting bleaker. Rahman can easily fill Archer's spot and if the England cricketer does come back to the scene, both the foreign recruits can combine together to form a lethal pace attack. Mustafizur has good amount of international experience and a decent outing in IPL as well. The Bangladesh seamer has so far featured in 24 IPL matches, in which he has bagged the same number of wickets. (IPL)
