#2 Ajinkya Rahane
Partnering Gayle will be Ajinkya Rahane. Unlike Gayle, Rahane is a batsman, who thrives on proper cricket shots. Rahane was a part of Mumbai Indians for the first three seasons before he moved to Rajasthan Royals, where he spent as many as five years before the franchise was banned.
He moved to Rising Pune Supergiant and he was so close to winning the IPL but the Steve Smith-led lost the 2017 IPL final off the last ball, continuing his title-drought.
He is back with the Royals for the 2018 IPL and will be leading the side in the 11th edition.
He is one of the most prolific batsmen in the tournament as he has accounted for 3057 runs in 15 innings at an average of 33.59.
