3 players RR might release ahead of IPL 2024

Even since their winning campaign in 2008, Rajasthan Royals have been trying hard to lift another Indian Premier Leah trophy. However, due to numerous hiccups, the Royals have always fallen short of being crowned as the champions. The closest they managed to come was in 2022, during which they finished second.

Their captain Sanju Samson has been a great leader for them, but it is the scarcity of resources that has been haunting them. Now, with another season coming up, it is time for the management to put on their thinking caps. This time around, it is time to release the underperforming players and pick up the deserving ones.

Even though they have almost all the bases covered, there is still room for improvement. It is now time for the Royals to pick up the lesser-known players who are waiting to showcase their talent on the big stage.

Here are the probable players Rajasthan Royals might release in the upcoming IPL auction:

 3. Devdutt Padikkal

The Karnataka-based southpaw has been associated with IPL since 2020. During his first tenure with Royal Challengers Bangalore, he had a great season with 473 runs under his name. A healthy average of 31.53 shows that he was comfortable with the management, but the story was not the same for Devdutt with his second franchise.

 Later on, he joined Rajasthan Royals but things haven’t been the same for Devdutt. In the last two seasons, he has managed to score just three fifties and he played just 11 games in the last season. This depicts that the management is trying to settle the top order for the team.

 It looks like Devdutt needs to look for another franchise that will give him more chances. It is clear that if given more chances, he will perform more consistently. But, talking about being a part of Rajasthan, it seems like his time with the franchise is almost over.
