Under Shane Warne’s leadership, Rajasthan Royals won the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League in 2008, but the squad in pink has had a dry run since then. They’ve made the playoffs three times since their 2008 triumph but haven’t been able to recreate their achievements from the initial season.
Rajasthan Royals bought two players from the marquee list in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin and Trent Boult. The franchise grabbed leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who is a match-winner with the ball and forms an excellent spin attack alongside Ashwin.

The rules of retention for the IPL 2022 mega auction is slightly different from the previous mega auction held ahead of the 2018 edition of IPL, as teams have a purse of INR 90 crores this time, with the option to retain a maximum of three Indian players before the deadline ends on Tuesday.
Following the retention of players by the eight original teams, the two new IPL franchises - Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, will have the option to pick three players from the rest of the players, which will include two Indian players and a foreign player. Out of the eight original teams, if a team chooses to retain four players in total, it will head to the auctions with a purse of INR 48 crores. The IPL 2022 player auction is likely to take place in the first week of January, while no official date is confirmed so far.
Which players retained by RR in IPL 2022? Rajasthan Royals have retained their captain Sanju Samson, opening batsman Jos Buttler and uncapped Indian player Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of the IPL 2022 auction. Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, Evin Lewis and Chris Morris were not retained by Rajasthan Royals.
