Although Rajasthan can use RTM for this explosive batsman in the mega auction, but if this does not happen then LSG can make a big bet on Butler.

Rishabh Pant
Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is also going to be a part of the mega auction this time, because Delhi Capitals has released the captain. In such a situation, there is going to be a lot of demand for pants in the mega auction. LSG can open its treasury for Pant. Rishabh Pant has been captaining Delhi Capitals in IPL for a long time.
