SHANE WARNE (C)

Australian legend Shane Warne had retired from the game in 2007 but was coaxed by the Rajasthan Royals’ management to play for three seasons and he did amazingly well, as the captain and coach of the team. He led the team to the title in 2008 and picked 57 wickets in 55 games with the best bowling of 4/21 at an economy of 7.27. He showed that leg-spinners will be the future of T20 cricket, something that has come true.

Shreyas Gopal has picked 31 wickets in 25 matches including a hat-trick for the Rajasthan franchise. The leg-spinner has been used as a wicket-taking option by the captain and he has more often than not come good for the skipper.

SIDDHARTH TRIVEDI
M: 76| Wkts: 65| BB: 4/25| 4Ws: 1| 5Ws: 0 | Eco: 7.58

A surprising choice, but Siddharth Trivedi was one of the best bowlers Rajasthan Royals had from 2008-2013. The Gujarat fast bowler picked 65 wickets in 76 matches for the Royals at an economy of 7.58 and his arsenal included all the variations needed to be successful in the T20 format, which he used wisely.
