1. Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes Rajasthan Royals:
The Royals have got a huge blow after Jofra Archer surfaced with the stress fracture in the right elbow. And because of injury, he will be a missing the whole tournament, leaving a major gap in the team. It will be hard for the franchise to find a replacement like the England pacer.
Another major set back is Steve Smith’s absence for the first game of the season. While Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes are confirmed to miss the initial part of the tournament and will also miss the playoffs–if Rajasthan qualifies.
The England cricketers will be busy handling the national duty.
