4. Dhruv Jurel (RR: INR 14 crore)

Dhruv Jurel was retained by Rajasthan Royals (RR) for IPL 2025 at a price of INR 14 crore and was the biggest gainer ahead of the mega auction. He was brought at a price that is 70 times more than his earnings in 2024. Jurel was first picked up by RR in 2021 but made his impact in IPL 2022, scoring 152 runs at a strike rate of 172.73 as an impact player.
The Agra-born did not have the best of IPL 2024 having managed 195 runs in 15 matches at an average of 24 and a strike rate of 138. The youngster also made his T20I debut for India in 2024 but could not do much as he scored 12 runs in 4 T20I matches. He will be keen to justify his retention and has made a perfect start to the 2025 season scoring 70 against SRH in their first game.
