IPL 2025: Top 3 players RR might release ahead of the mega-auction
Rajasthan Royals qualified for the playoffs twice in the last three years.
1. Shimron Hetmyer
West Indies international Shimron Hetmyer is a force to reckon with in the shortest format of the game. However, the franchise will be forced to release him as it is unlikely that BCCI will allow each team to retain more than two foreign players. Their first choice in that case will be Jos Buttler, while the second one is likely to be Trent Boult.
Hetmyer was bought for INR 7.75 crore and has played 41 matches for the Royals, scoring 726 runs. He was incredibly effective for the team in the middle-overs, which is why Rajasthan can try using their Right to Match card to get him back. However, BCCI is yet to clear their stance on the usage of the RTM cards in the coming auction.
His current form is also a matter of concern. Recently, Hetmyer featured in The Hundred where he scored 126 runs in eight matches at a poor strike rate of 109.56.
