IPL 2018: SWOT analysis of the Rajasthan Royals Squad 

Weaknesses

Lack of economical bowlers

Jaydev Unadkat is adept at dismissing batsmen consistently but tends to leak runs from time to time

While the batting contingent and all-rounder element of RR are strong and sorted, their bowling can be looked upon with apprehension, at least for now. The big names of the Royals' bowling line-up include Dhawal Kulkarni, Anureet Singh, K Gowtham, Ben Laughlin, and the 11-crore buy, Jaydev Unadkat.

While all these bowlers have the knack of picking wickets from time to time, they are not very adept at restricting the scoring. Those who have good economical numbers do not have the experience of playing at this level.

Hence, it will be tough for Rahane to recognize a bowler that will give him four efficient and non-expensive overs. It is extremely important to have such a bowler in a T20 side.
