Ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction, Rajasthan Royals are making strategic moves, eyeing a revamped squad to rekindle their glory days. Having narrowly missed playoffs in the previous season, the team is set to reshuffle its deck and strengthen its lineup.
IPL 2024 Players Released
The trade window in the previous season allowed teams to swap or trade players, leading to potential reshuffles. As per IPL rules, franchises can retain a maximum of 25 players, with only 8 foreign players allowed. The Rajasthan Royals have made significant decisions regarding their released players:
- Devdutt Padikkal (Traded to LSG)
- Joe Root (Opted out)
- Jason Holder
- KC Cariappa
- Murugan Ashwin
These players will enter the IPL 2024 Auction, providing an opportunity for other teams to acquire their services.
IPL 2024 Auction Date and Venue
The IPL 2024 Auction is scheduled for December 19 in Dubai, marking the first overseas auction in IPL history. With this being a mini-auction, the event will span a single day, setting the stage for teams to rebuild their squads.
List of Rajasthan Royals (RR) Players Retained
The Royals have been strategic in retaining a mix of talented players for the upcoming season:
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Shimron Hetmyer
- Sanju Samson (c&wk)
- Jos Buttler (wk)
- Dhruv Jurel (wk)
- Kuldip Yadav
- Navdeep Saini

- Donovan Ferreira
- Kunal Rathore
- Adam Zampa
- KM Asif
- Akash Vashisht
- Abdul Basith
- Sandeep Sharma
- Avesh Khan (Traded from LSG)
IPL 2024 Teams Purse Value
With a purse increment of INR 5 crores, RR made trade moves securing Avesh Khan while freeing up finances by releasing Root and Holder, adding to their available purse. The team currently holds a remaining purse value of INR 3.35 crore.
Verdict
Root’s recent form might have led to his exclusion, while RR might seek fresh talent by potentially releasing KM Asif and Sandeep Sharma. The team’s faith in Riyan Parag’s domestic success might see his retention. The released players will be an interesting addition for other teams, and RR’s strategy in the auction remains a focal point.
Stay tuned as the IPL 2024 Auction approaches, promising significant reshuffles and exciting acquisitions for Rajasthan Royals.
