The runner-up of the last edition, Rajasthan Royals had the best-ever season after winning the IPL 2008. They had most of their bases covered but needed an all-rounder and a potent middle-order batter.

The auction witnessed them doing exceedingly well to secure the services of Jason Holder, Joe Root, and Adam Zampa as the top picks. Although Zampa and Root don’t fit into the scheme of things at present, they will serve as strong backups.
