One thing that the Rajasthan Royals were happy in the last IPL season apart from Jos Buttler was their Spin bowling department. Shreyas Gopal and Krishnappa Gowtham did lit up the IPL with their spins and turns while Ish Sodhi did do well in the limited opportunities that he had got. They also have a backup spinner in Mahipal Lomror in their squad.

Apart from having a decent spin bowling lineup of the above, Rajasthan went hard in the IPL 2019 auctions to buy 2 overseas spin bowling allrounders in Ashton Turner and Liam Livingstone. They also went after Shashank Singh and Riyan Parag, both of them are handy spinners apart from their batting skills.

To sum up, Rajasthan Seems to have a problem of plenty in the case of spinners.

  2. Shreyas Gopal
  3. Ish Sodhi /Ashton Turner

Overall Verdict - Even after all the surplus purchases in the IPL 2019 auctions, it looks as if Rajasthan will go with the retained three options in their playing XI. That might say a bit about their auction strategy, but here while comparing the spin department, Rajasthan does not have an intimidating unit.
