#4 Rajasthan Royals - Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith

Rajasthan Royals will look to end their wait of the second title in this season. The inaugural champions haven’t reached the final of the tourney ever since the 2008 IPL.
Fans from all over the world will be having an eye on Steve Smith who will return to action, post the Newlands saga and his injury problems. The Australian had surgery and will be playing the IPL as a preparatory tournament for the World Cup in England which he is likely to play. Though the Australian will not have enough game time, the former captain will still be one of the players to watch out for not only in his team but also in the tournament.
The captain of the franchise from the Pink City, Ajinkya Rahane, like many other players, has an opportunity to come back into the Indian limited overs setup for the World Cup, courtesy of a good performance in the IPL.
