Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 Squad, Captain, Expensive Players, and RTM Retentions After Day 1 and Day 2 of the IPL 2025 Auction
Rajasthan Royals looked very silent in the first half of Day 1 but later went behind some prominent spinners of Sri Lanka Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana. And, also included a talented uncapped spinner Kumar Kartikeya.
Rajasthan management went behind Jofra and Boult as their lead pacer, but they were able to get Jofra. Rajasthan will be going into Day 2 where they have to work hard on the bowling department. Because of mere purse value, they will have to be very smart to prepare their bench strength.
