#4 Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane was bought by the Rajasthan Royals by using the RTM card at this year's auction.

Rahane is a fine opener who is technically very sound and is the most trustworthy batsman for Rajasthan who can create a solid foundation for the team at the top of the order.

He has twice crossed the 500-run mark during his tenure with the franchise. The right-hand bat has scored over 4000 runs in the shortest format of the game including a century and 33 half-centuries.

Rahane has grown in terms of maturity as well as skills during his time with the Indian team. He will get lot of time at top of order to score lot of runs.

Rahane knows how to tackle pace and swing and he is a very fine player of spin and would aim to get the orange cap.
