#3 Steve Smith
Steve Smith missed the last season of the IPL after being caught in the ball tampering scandal. This season, he will return to the game after completing his suspension. One year is a long time and some people have seemed to forget that he is one of the best batsmen of this generation.
While his record is exceptional in Test cricket, it is brilliant in other formats too. The right-handed batsman has a very good record in the IPL. The 29-year-old played a pivotal role in the success of the now defunct Rising Pune Supergiants. He led the team to the final before they lost the final to Mumbai Indians.
The right-hander was brilliant with the bat too, as he scored 472 runs at an average of close to 40. Steve Smith can provide solidity to the batting line up of RR, as he can hold the batting together while other big hitters can play around him.
