IPL 2023: Best starting playing XI of Rajasthan Royals (RR) after mini auction
At the auction, Jason Holder was their best pick at the price of INR 5.75 crore.
6. Jason Holder
At the mini-auction, the franchise bought the former West Indies captain Jason Holder at INR 5.75 crore. The franchise also locked horns with CSK at the auction tables to rope in the all-rounder. In the forthcoming tournament, the franchise would like to see him reinforcing the bowling line-up with Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, and Yuzvendra Chahal.
Noting the 31-year-old’s all-round performances for his national team, the franchise will also expect him to contribute to the team with his bat. Batting in the lower order, Holder has delivered many match-finishing displays to the West Indies and T20 league teams. In the cash-rich league too, the Caribbean player finished a few games for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) with his ferocious batting style.
This year, his performance in T20Is and the league was not up to the mark. But in the 2023 installment of the league, the Barbadian cricketer will be keen to do well using his all-round skills and become an efficient servant for his new franchise.
