IPL 2018: The debutants XI 

#2 D'Arcy Short (Batsman)

Scored a match-winning fifty in tri-series final against New Zealand

The Hobart Hurricanes' top order batsman came into limelight when he scored eight fours and three sixes against a potent Sydney Sixers bowling attack on his Big Bash League debut and rose to fame.

D'Arcy Short is a batting all-rounder, a flashy left-handed opener, and a slow left-arm unorthodox bowler. The leading run-scorer in BBL this season has already drawn comparisons with David Warner, earning a call-up to Australia's T20I side who won the recently concluded Tri-series against New Zealand and England.

Rajasthan Royals put their faith in the southpaw to perform in the Indian conditions by signing him for ₹ 4 crores.
