The Rajasthan Royals (RR), like several other teams, had their core intact ahead of the IPL 2024 auction and just needed to plug some holes and add some backups. They began the auction on the front foot, bagging West Indies T20I skipper Rovman Powell for a whopping ₹7.4 crore. He could form a lethal combination with Shimron Hetmyer in the middle order.
The rest of the auction for RR was all about adding those uncapped potential gems in Shubham Dubey and Abid Mushtaq, England's uncapped wicketkeeper Tom Kohler-Cadmore and South African speedster Nandre Burger. They seem confident that they have everything they need in the 22-player squad
Rajasthan Royals' final IPL 2024 squad: Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini, Prasidh Krishna, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Adam Zampa, Avesh Khan (traded in from Lucknow Super Giants), Rovman Powell ( ₹ 7.4 crore), Shubham Dubey (₹ 5.80 crore), Tom Kohler-Cadmore (₹ 40 lakh), Abid Mushtaq (₹ 20 lakh), Nandre Burger (₹ 50 lakh).
