The first Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) failed to be at their best in the previous edition of the tournament but in the upcoming season, they will strive to clinch the coveted trophy and bring joy to the faces of their supporters. At the auction held in Dubai, they spent INR 14.30 crore from their purse and signed up five players. 

They added Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore to reinforce their batting unit. RR will expect these new members to step up with their bats and play their roles exceptionally. Along with these three names, eyes will be set on some key batters who have performed brilliantly for the team in the past seasons.

Here are three batters to watch out for in Rajasthan Royals (RR)

3. Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson will look to lead the side from the front as a skipper. In the previous season, he performed well with his bat in initial games but struggled to be among the runs later. He concluded his season with only 362 runs with three fifties in 14 matches.
