IPL 2021: Rajasthan Royals predicted XI

Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Kartik Tyagi

With pace-bowling all-rounders Dube, Stokes and Morris in the team, and Kartik Tyagi alongside him, Jofra Archer will breathe a sigh of relief. The Englishman single-handedly carried the RR bowling attack last year, and he'll welcome the support. He still remains the talisman and key wicket-taker, though.

Tyagi showed a lot of promise with his yorkers and aggression in IPL 2020, and he'll look to plump up the wickets column this year. The young fast bowler has immense potential, and RR is the right team to channelize it.

Shreyas Gopal had an indifferent campaign last season, but he is still the team's lead spinner. The leggie's googlies and speed through the air will trouble the best of batsmen in the subcontinent, and he may even score a few handy runs with the bat.

RR's predicted playing XI for IPL 2021: Jos Buttler (wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c), Ben Stokes, Shivam Dube, Rahul Tewatia, Riyan Parag, Chris Morris, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Kartik Tyagi
