3. Shimron Hetmyer (RR: INR 11 crore)

Shimron Hetmyer was retained by RR for INR 11 crores before the IPL 2025 auction. This retention raised a lot of eyebrows. Fans and experts were questioning the move to retain the Caribbean ahead of Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal.
The Southpaw did not have a good IPL 2024 as he could amass only 113 runs in 12 matches at an average of 22. The West Indies cricketer also has not been able to find a place in the national T20I side regularly. The Royals have shown a lot of faith in him, and he will be keen to repay the faith and justify his high price tag.
