IPL: RR's greatest overseas XI of all time

Fast-bowling all-rounders: James Faulkner, Kevon Cooper

James Faulkner adds variety to this all-time RR XI's bowling attack

Two very similar all-rounders make up the lower middle order of this all-time RR XI.

Both James Faulkner and Kevon Cooper were out-and-out wicket-takers, and their repertoire of slower balls and cutters were utterly lethal at the death. Moreover, both fast bowlers were more than useful with the bat and had the ability to play the big shots right from the outset.

The Australian picked up 47 wickets in the 42 games he played for RR, with another 382 runs to show for with the bat. Cooper, on the other hand, recorded 33 dismissals in 25 games, although he didn't really bat high enough in the order to make an impact with the bat.

Bowlers: Shane Warne (c), Jofra Archer, Shaun Tait

Shane Warne led RR to the title in the inaugural edition of the IPL

RR's first-ever captain Shane Warne, who also led the team to the title in the inaugural edition of the IPL with a nail-biting win over CSK in the final, is understandably the skipper and lead spinner of this all-time XI. The Australian great adapted himself beautifully to the T20 format, and picked up 56 wickets in 55 IPL games.

This all-time RR XI is rounded off by two of the fastest bowlers of all time - Jofra Archer and Shaun Tait.

The former is still active for RR, and has picked up 26 wickets in the 21 games that he has played for the side. Archer will be the leader of RR's bowling attack in IPL 2020, alongside young Indian pacer Kartik Tyagi. Tait, on the other hand, scalped 23 wickets in the 21 games he played in the IPL for RR, although he was a tad expensive with an economy rate of 8.12.
