IPL 2023 Auction: Rajasthan Royals (RR) Team Players List, Full Squad For IPL 2023

IPL 2023 Auction: Rajasthan Royals (RR) Team Players List, Full Squad For IPL 2023. Rajasthan Royals have been one of the most entertaining performers over the years. The Royals, though, did not perform overwhelmingly over the past few years, but their last quest was a highly successful one. The Royals seemed to be the most promising side in the last edition, with a balanced squad of batters and tricky bowlers.

Despite a very convincing season last year, RR could not register a title win and therefore released many players to rebuild their squad in the mini-auction. 

RR Retained Overseas Players For IPL 2023

The Royals team had an eventful season, and their overseas players played a substantial role in the game. The English skipper Jos Buttler made one of his career-best performances with 850+ runs and four triple-digit scores at an average of 57, striking at 150.

Others who contributed significantly included Windies hitman Shimron Hetmyer and Kiwi speedster, Trent Boult. These companies overseas have been the best in their business and have led their team to great success in 2022.

Rajasthan Royals Overseas Players bought in mini-auction 2023

The Royals, though didn’t have an alluring purse for the auction, still had a good auction with many handy picks for a small amount. Rajasthan Royals entered the auction with 13.2 crores and 9 remaining slots, looking for a quality all-rounder who could bat down the order and serve as their 5th bowling option.

With this auction being the auction of all-rounders, every franchise was in the hunt for one, and with Curran, Stokes, and Green going too high on bids, the RR had to settle for the Caribbean all-rounder Jason Holder. They also named Englishman Joe Root, who would make his IPL debut, and leggy Australian Zampa to their squad.
