IPL 2019: Key players from each team who can leave the tournament midway because of World Cup

#6 Rajasthan Royals- Ben Stokes, Steve Smith, and Jos Buttler

Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler are key players for both RR and England

The Rajasthan Royals have some of the best overseas players in the entire league but will have to deal with them leaving midway through the tournament. Jos Buttler, who was their talisman last season paved their way to the playoffs in a one-man show as he displayed his destructive abilities by scoring 5 consecutive half-centuries and destroyed opposition bowling attacks.

Buttler is also one of the most important players for England in the World Cup and will have to return back to prepare for the big tournament. Another player who they will miss will be Ben Stokes. The all-rounder is among the finest in the world and that's the reason why his country wants him back before May 1.

Stokes didn't perform too well last season but with a match-winner like him, things can change in the fraction of a second. Steve Smith who was reinstated in their squad will most likely miss this season as CA will want him to stay fit for the World Cup as he has already suffered an injury recently.
