IPL 2019: 3 teams that could be in contention for Qais Ahmad

#2 Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals made a successful comeback after serving two years ban due to illegal betting and match-fixing. The team under Ajinkya Rahane garnered 14 points from 14 matches.

Though they finished at the fourth position in the points table, they were expected to put up a much better performance as they had the costliest Indian and Overseas buy of 2018 IPL auction (Jaydev Unadkat and Ben Stokes) in the team.

Though Rajasthan Royals have the likes of Ish Sodhi, Shreyas Gopal, Krishnappa Gowtham in their spin department, none of them are proven wicket-takers and are vastly inconsistent. Having Qais Ahmad in the squad can be a major boost to their bowling department and he can make a huge impact for Rajasthan Royals.

If Shane Warne continues to be the mentor for Rajasthan Royals in 2019, Qais Ahmad under the guidance of Warne would prove to be unstoppable. With Rajasthan Royals having 20.95 crores left in the purse, they will be the front-runners to buy Qais Ahmad.
