Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 Squad: Complete List Of Players And Auction Buys Revealed

As the IPL 2025 mega auction unfolds in Saudi Arabia, Rajasthan Royals are gearing up to assemble a formidable squad. The team, which clinched the IPL title in 2008, has consistently been a strong contender but has yet to replicate that initial success. Their performance in IPL 2024 saw them reach Qualifier 2, where they were defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Under the guidance of new head coach Rahul Dravid, Rajasthan Royals have retained a solid core of players. Sanju Samson will lead the team as captain, with promising talents like Yashasvi Jaiswal also part of the squad. Young Indian players Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag have been retained, along with West Indies' Shimron Hetmyer as their only overseas player.

The retained players form a crucial part of the team's strategy. Dhruv Jurel was retained for ₹14 crore, while Shimron Hetmyer secured his spot for ₹11 crore. Sandeep Sharma was also kept on board with a retention price of ₹4 crore. These decisions aim to provide stability and address any gaps in the squad.

Rajasthan Royals have entered the auction with Rs 41 crore, which is the smallest purse among all teams. They have retained six players in total, five of whom are capped and one uncapped. This strategic retention maximises their allowed limit and sets the stage for their auction strategy.

The auction purse is crucial for acquiring new talent and strengthening the team. As Rajasthan Royals navigate this process, they aim to make strategic buys that complement their existing lineup. The team's management is focused on filling key positions and enhancing overall performance.
