Rajasthan Royals (RR) has had a rollercoaster journey in the Indian Premier League (IPL), starting with a triumphant win in the inaugural season led by Shane Warne. Since then, they have struggled to replicate their success, often failing to qualify for playoffs. In 2022, under Sanju Samson’s captaincy, they reached the final but lost to Gujarat Titans.
Heading into IPL 2024, RR aims for redemption, focusing on international stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal and R Ashwin, who showcased exceptional performance in recent Test series. In the auction, they secured key players like Rovman Powell and Shubham Dubey. However, they released several players after a disappointing campaign, including Joe Root and Jason Holder.
With a squad led by Samson, comprising Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, and others, RR boasts a formidable batting lineup. Jaiswal’s stellar form adds to their strength, complemented by experienced spinners like Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal. Trent Boult’s T20 experience enhances their bowling arsenal. However, RR faces challenges with the absence of genuine all-rounders, relying heavily on Ashwin’s dual skills. Riyan Parag’s inconsistency and questions over his role add further concerns. Moreover, Prasidh Krishna’s unavailability due to injury weakens their pace attack.
