IPL 2023: 5 Rajasthan Royals players who might be benched throughout upcoming season
Rajasthan Royals lost to Gujarat Titans in the summit clash and had to contend with the runners-up title in IPL 2022.
3. KM Asif
KM Asif has been a consistent performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The 29-year-old has featured in 11 List-A matches and bagged 18 scalps at an economy of 5.88. In the shortest format, he has picked up 33 scalps in 27 matches at an economy of 7.81.
Asif was sensational in the 2022 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, taking 12 wickets in seven games at an economy of 7.00. Rajasthan liked what they saw in the right-arm pacer and picked him at the IPL 2023 auction. However, there is a high possibility that he will be benched throughout the season.
Rajasthan have experienced Indian pacers in Prasidh and Saini at their disposal. Also, they possess Kuldeep, who brings another dimension to the pace attack with his pace. With the troika in the team, Asif might need to wait to play his first game for Rajasthan.
