Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals have finished near the bottom of the table in the last three seasons of the IPL – they finished seventh in 2019 and 2021 while they took the last spot in 2020. However, they will hope for better performances in 2022 after assembling a well-rounded squad in the mega-auction in February. Earlier, RR had retained Samson, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
They have got the two threatening spinners, R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, in their squad for the upcoming season, while the fast bowling duties will be dependent on Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Navdeep Saini.
