Anderson is known for his big hitting

Corey Anderson is a batting all-rounder from New Zealand and has previous experience of playing in IPL. His main role in the team would be to bat in the middle order but he has the ability contribute with the ball as well.

The Kiwi all-rounder played his first season for the Mumbai Indians in 2014 and has also represented Delhi Daredevils in the 2017 season. He has scored 1768 runs in 100 matches at an average of 27. His IPL numbers are even more impressive as he averages 28 and has a strike rate of 130 with the highest score of 95 for the Mumbai Indians against Rajasthan.

Anderson would more than compensate for the loss of Archer with the bat but would not quite replace him with the ball. He would definitely bolster the batting of Rajasthan Royals if he was to be chosen.
