IPL 2024 Rajasthan Royals (RR) Full Squad List
Batters
Kunal Rathore, Shimron Hetmyer (o), Shubham Dubey & Yashasvi Jaiswal
Rajasthan Royals have four batters in their squad for IPL 2024 in the form of Kunal Rathore, Shimron Hetmyer, Shubham Dubey, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Of the four batters, Shimron Hetmyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal will play a key role in IPL 2024.
WKs
Dhruv Jurel, Donavon Ferreira (o), Jos Buttler (o), Sanju Samson (c) & Tom Kohler-Cadmore (o)
Rajasthan Royals invested the most in wicket-keeper batters in IPL 2024. While Rajasthan Royals already had Dhruv Jurel, Donavon Ferreira, Jos Buttler, and Sanju Samson, they bought one more wicket-keeper batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Overall, there’s extreme quality in all their wicket-keepers with Buttler, Samson, and Jurel being the most important wicket-keepers.
All-rounders
Abid Mushtaq, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag & Rovman Powell (o)
Coming to all-rounders, there aren’t any good names to look up to. All the four all-rounders are more of make-shift all-rounders. While Abid Mushtaq is young and inexperienced, Ashwin is decent in batting, and Powell and Parag are decent in bowling.
Spinners
Adam Zampa (o) & Yuzvendra Chahal
Talking about primary spinners, RR didn’t invest in any new name, and have only Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa as their spinners. Both are spinners of supreme quality, and they also have Ashwin, Mushtaq, and Parag to support them in the spin department.
Pacers
Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen, Nandre Burger (o), Navdeep Saini, Prasidh Krishna, Sandeep Sharma & Trent Boult (o)
Finally, talking about the pacers, Rajasthan Royals have the right mix of Indian and Overseas contingent. While Overseas pace bowling has Trent Boult and Nandre Burger, the Indian pace bowling contingent has Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini, Prasidh Krishna, and Sandeep Sharma.
