6 players retained: Sanju Samson (INR 18 crore), Yashasvi Jaiswal (INR 18 crore), Riyan Parag (INR 14 crore), Dhruv Jurel (INR 14 crore), Shimron Hetmyer (INR 11 crore), Sandeep Sharma (INR 4 crore)
Purse remaining for auction: INR 41 crore (out of INR 120 crore)
Analysis: Rajasthan Royals have retained their core batting talent ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. Along with KKR, RR is the team that has retained the maximum of six players. The franchise has placed great trust in the young Indian trio of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. While they could have considered using Right to Match (RTM) cards for these players, their retention demonstrates the faith the franchise has in them. However, not retaining any of Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, or Ravi Ashwin means that RR will need to bolster their bowling options in the mega auction.
