New Delhi: Rajasthan Royals are the runner-ups of IPL 2022. They had an astonishing performance in the previous edition and would try to repeat it this year. They would come to the mini-auction with a purse of 13.2 cr. They have not released many key players and have tried to keep the balance they had in the 2022 edition intact.
Three Players Rajasthan Royals can go after at the Mini-Auction –
1) Cameron Green
A fast-bowling allrounder like Cameron Green can be a perfect fit for Rajasthan Royals. He can come in handy in the lower middle-order when RR needs a quick-fire finish and also perform crucial batting roles times when the top order fails to provide a good start.
2) Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes was a part of the Rajasthan Royals camp before and they can most likely go after him once again. Ben Stokes is expected to cost a fortune but RR already had many of their key players and they can take a risk of going after a match-winner like Ben Stokes.
3) KS Bharat
KS Bharat is one of the good uncapped players and RR can use one in the team. They’re stacked but KS Bharat can come in handy in the middle order. KS Bharat doesn’t have a huge base price and RR can accommodate him in the squad.
