MS Dhoni's match-winning knock against RCB shows that he's still among the best in the business when it comes to finishing
#6 Rajasthan Royals- Ashton Turner or Ben Stokes
Ad
Ben Stokes
The Rajasthan Royals lacked a proper finisher last season as Jos Buttler wasn't able to thrive in the middle order. The paltry form of the England all-rounder Ben Stokes considerably weakened the middle order for the side. Coming into this auction, they needed to sign finishers and they did sign relatively unknown entities in Ashton Turner and Liam Livingstone.

Buttler is expected to open the innings this season and in the absence of Steve Smith, Turner can make it to the RR middle order as their finisher. The Perth Scorchers' batting all-rounder possesses a decent bowling arm and bowls useful off-spin.
He has plenty of T20 experience and has finished off many games for his side. Ben Stokes too will be instrumental while chasing but he needs good partners for him to unleash his destructive side. Krishnappa Gowtham can strike the ball well and will feature in their plans as well.
