7. Rajasthan Royals: Undefined Middle-Order Roles

Despite having a well-rounded squad, the Rajasthan Royals still face some uncertainty in their batting structure. While players like Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Shimron Hetmyer have defined roles, the middle-order combinations remain unclear. 

Questions persist around how players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Donovan Ferreira will be utilised, and whether Ravindra Jadeja will play a more impactful batting role or serve as depth. To make it worse, Sam Curran has got ruled out due to a suspected injury. While this flexibility offers options, the lack of clearly defined roles could lead to inconsistency if not settled early in the season.
