3. Jason Roy

If transfers are allowed for the IPL then surely RR have to look at Jason Roy?

This signing could be game-changing for the Rajasthan Royals. Jason Roy joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad as Mitchell Marsh's replacement. Hyderabad's decision to sign Roy raised many eyebrows because they already have top-quality overseas batsmen in their squad.

Kane Williamson, Jonny Bairstow and David Warner occupy three overseas spots in the playing XI, while Rashid Khan is the fourth foreign player. With all four overseas players performing well in IPL 2021, it is unlikely that the Sunrisers Hyderabad will give Jason Roy a game.

Ben Stokes opened the innings for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021. After his injury, the Royals have sent Jos Buttler to bat at the top. The Jaipur-based franchise could use Buttler in the middle-order once again by signing Jason Roy on loan.

Roy is an explosive opener who can potentially form a brilliant partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top. He can lay the platform for Sanju Samson, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Chris Morris to destroy the opposition bowlers in the second half. Hence, the Royals must consider signing Jason.

New Zealand's wicket-keeper batsman Finn Allen did not earn a single bid at IPL Auction 2021. Royal Challengers Bangalore later signed him as Josh Philippe's replacement.

Finn Allen is a destructive opening batsman like Jason Roy. Like the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have a settled top-order. Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers have done an excellent job for the team. They also have Mohammed Azharuddeen on the bench.

So the Royal Challengers Bangalore can loan out Finn Allen to the Rajasthan Royals. The Kiwi player could open the innings for the Royals and give them some excellent starts in the powerplay overs.

1. Ben Cutting

The Kolkata Knight Riders bought Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting at IPL Auction 2021, but they have not used him yet. The Knight Riders have preferred Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell in the foreign all-rounders' section.

Cutting could benefit a lot by joining the Rajasthan Royals on loan. He will likely receive more game time at RR. The Jaipur-based franchise can strengthen their core by getting Cutting on loan.

The Australian all-rounder can smash big hits and even take a few wickets with his pace-bowling. He could make up for Ben Stokes' absence in the all-rounders' section.

It will be interesting to see which players the Rajasthan Royals get on loan in IPL 2021.
