RR's Retention Strategy Focused on Young Indian Talent and Bowling Depth

Firstpost  

Rajasthan Royals prioritize young Indian talent in their IPL 2025 retention strategy. The franchise has retained Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Riyan Parag, who were instrumental in their playoff run in 2024. However, they will need to secure quality bowlers in the auction to build a competitive squad. The Royals have retained Dhruv Jurel, a surprising pick for a hefty sum, but will need to find other options to support the team's bowling attack. With only Rs 41 crore remaining in their auction purse, RR must carefully evaluate their options and target players who can contribute to both batting and bowling. They could also consider reuniting with players like Yuzvendra Chahal or Trent Boult to build a well-rounded squad.
