When Rajasthan Royals went onto the IPL 2025 mega auction with INR 41 crores in purse, the debate was about which players would they end up bringing back for the upcoming season. Although, RR weren't able to sign all the core members, but still, they managed to pick some good players in their squad. RR was more focused on improving their bowling department. The IPL's inaugural winners signed England fast Jofra Archer once again, their most costly acquisition at INR 12.5 Crore.
They also added Sri Lanka's spin combo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga, to bolster their bowling resources. Similarly, Rajasthan Royals recruited domestic talent Nitish Rana to an already explosive batting group that includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer. It would be interesting to see how this new team would create an impact in the IPL 2025. In the listicle article below, SportsTiger lists down the best probable XI of Rajasthan Royals for the next season.
Strongest Playing XI of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025
Openers: Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan Royals, who has been a mainstay of Rajasthan Royals middle order for years, opened with great success for India in T20Is, scoring three hundreds, which could prompt RR management to put him at the top of the order in the IPL 2025. Being a captain, he is known to lead the team quite impressively in the field as well, ensuring consistent success over the last three years. In his support, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been quite exceptional for RR in the league in recent years, translating that success to the national team. Both these two batters be a lethal pair for the opposite team to play against at the top of the order.
