#2 Mustafizur Rahman (Mumbai Indians)

'The Fizz' struggled to perform for the Mumbai Indians last season, and that resulted in him being released by the side. But he has had good outings for the Bangladesh national side in recent times, and is in great form right now.

One of the few Bangladeshi players to feature in the IPL, Mustafizur is known for his accuracy and subtle changes of pace.

Mustafizur can be the all-round bowling package which Rajasthan are looking for, and just like Shami he too can form a lethal combination with Jofra Archer.

Rajasthan's overseas pace options didn't perform well except for Archer, and 'The Fizz' can be the perfect solution to that conundrum. The Royals can benefit hugely if they buy this seasoned and energetic fast bowler to fill the void of the third seamer.


#1 Aaron Finch (Kings XI Punjab)

Aaron Finch was released by Kings XI Punjab along with several other big names like Yuvraj Singh and Axar Patel.

The Australian captain has had a great season post IPL and will certainly be on the radar of teams looking out for an opener. The Kings seem to have made a mistake by letting go of this in-form opener, and the other teams will be looking to cash in.

Finch is in the second place in the ICC T20I Rankings and has scored 469 runs in 13 innings for Australia with an average of 52 and an absolutely incredible strike rate of 190. He recently made history by posting the highest individual score by a batsman in T20Is as he smashed 172 runs against Zimbabwe.

With such destructive abilities, Finch is the number 1 candidate for an opening slot in any team, and should look to grab the opportunity if it arises.

He will be a great option to open the batting with either Buttler or Rahane, and can thrive in both Indian and foreign conditions (since the IPL could be moved out of India). All things considered, Finch would be a great option for the Royals to look at.
