IPL 2018: Ranking the bowling of each team after 6 rounds

#7 Rajasthan Royals

In the six matches so far Rajasthan Royals' bowlers have claimed just 26 wickets. In spite of them playing a rain-curtailed game against DD, the wickets difference between Rajasthan and next best should not have been as high as 10. The lack of wicket-taking ability is proving to be costly for them even in terms of runs as they have conceded runs at a rate of 9.129 per over.

Only two bowlers could take five wickets in all the matches till now. The next on the list is IPL debutant, Jofra Archer, who replaced the second-best performer of the team, Ben Laughlin. Archer was awarded the man of the match in the match against Mumbai Indians as he claimed 3-22 in 4 overs. The seven wickets in the match against MI is the highest number of wickets for RR in a match, so the inclusion of Jofra Archer might change the fortunes for Rajasthan's bowling.
