<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a> had a memorable campaign during the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League. They meant business from the very first game and finished second at the end of the group stage with nine wins in 14 games. Sanju Samson &amp; co. conquered Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second qualifier to reach the Final but failed to recreate history as they lost the summit clash to Gujarat Titans.

Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal led Rajasthan’s charge in the 2022 season and were the winners of the Orange Cap and Purple Cap respectively. The think tank had done a pretty good job at the mega auction 2022 to assemble a quality squad and it clearly paid dividends.

However, certain personnel inclusions did not prove to be as fruitful as the management would have liked them to be. Hence, we might witness Rajasthan tinker with their unit a bit and release certain players ahead of the forthcoming auction.

Let us look at the players Rajasthan Royals might release ahead of the auction:

Anunay Singh is one of the promising fast bowlers in Bihar's domestic cricket circuit. He made his List A debut in 2018 and has delivered some match-winning performances for his state. He has featured in eight List A games and taken ten wickets at an impressive economy of 3.47.

RR drafted the Vaishali-born for the 2022 season to provide a cushion to their pace arsenal. It was a huge opportunity for Anunay to make a name for himself in the biggest T20 league in the world. However, in presence of top-quality seamers in the squad, he was not able to break into the playing XI.

Rajasthan’s Indian fast-bowling stock had <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rario/prasidh-krishna-joins-team-rario-7788/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prasidh Krishna</a>, Navdeep Saini, and Kuldeep Sen. Prasidh and Saini brought in a wealth of experience whereas Kuldeep added another dimension to the attack with his whizzing pace.

In the presence of the troika, Anunay was always behind in the pecking order and the same could be the case going forward. Thus, Rajasthan will ponder whether they might be needing the services of the Bihar pacer in the seasons to come or not and if not, he could be released in the near future.

KC Cariappa has been a proven performer in Indian domestic circles. The leg-spinner is a typical T20 bowler with many variations up his sleeve. In the 2021-22 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the 28-year-old spun the web around the opposition and took 12 wickets in nine games at a phenomenal economy of 5.63.

Cariappa has been around the IPL circuit since 2015 but has not been able to light up the tournament with his bowling displays. In the 11 games, he has picked eight scalps an economy of 9.67. The Rajasthan franchise roped in the Karnataka spinner at the 2022 mega auction to add variety to their spin attack.

However, amid veteran Indian spinners <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/t20-world-cup-2022-ravichandran-ashwin-names-a-left-hander-who-can-be-power-player-for-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravichandran Ashwin</a> and Yuzvendra Chahal, the Bangalore-born was never in the reckoning to feature in the starting XI.

The Rajasthan spin attack is in great hands and Carriapa might not get a game going ahead as well. The think tank might let go of the spinner as he can offer a lot to any other side low in spin reserves in the seasons to follow.

Rassie van der Dussen has been a run bank for South Africa in limited-overs cricket. In T20Is, the ace batter has played 41 games and aggregated 1044 runs at a strike rate of 128.72. The veteran cricketer was picked by Rajasthan at this year’s mega auction to bolster their batting.

However, the 33-year-old did not get consistent opportunities and had to warm the bench for the majority of the season. And in the three games Rassie played in the 2022 season, he failed to set the stage ablaze with his performances.&nbsp; He was asked to bat at seven on one occasion which did not help his case either and the Pretoria-born ended up with 22 runs in his three outings at a strike rate of 91.67.

RR had a jam-packed middle order with the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/you-should-not-fix-a-spot-for-yourself-sanju-samson-talks-about-importance-of-being-flexible-in-roles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sanju Samson</a>, Devdutt Padikkal, and Shimron Hetmyer in the mix. The trio did a phenomenal job for the team and this meant the Proteas batter had to sit out.&nbsp; It does not appear Rassie has been able to fit into the scheme of things as the franchise had anticipated. Therefore, RR could part ways with the veteran batter and look for better options in the forthcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rajasthan-royals-pacer-nathan-coulter-nile-ruled-out-of-the-tournament/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Coulter-Nile</a> is an experienced customer in the shortest format of the game. He has featured in 146 T20 games and done a phenomenal job picking 170 wickets at an economy of 7.78. Talking about IPL in particular, the 35-year-old has been a part of 39 games and bagged 48 wickets. Besides his bowling prowess, he is a useful contributor with the bat lower down the order.

The Australian all-rounder can bring balance to any side and this is the reason why RR added him to their side for the 15th season of the IPL. Coulter-Nile played Rajasthan’s first game of the season but it did not go well as he conceded 48 runs in three overs. Unfortunately, it turned out to be his last game of the season as he was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.

In his IPL journey which started in 2013, Coulter-Nile has been rocked by injuries time and time again. Be it in the 2014 season when he missed the majority of the season due to a hamstring injury or last year when his stint with the Mumbai Indians was cut short due to a calf injury.

RR might not want to reinvest in a player who is not certain to be available for the entire season and thus Coulter-Nile’s exit from the Rajasthan camp looks quite likely.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/daryl-mitchell-is-unlikely-to-be-available-for-the-first-game-against-australia-gary-stead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daryl Mitchell</a> has been a proven performer for New Zealand across formats. When it comes to the T20I circuit, he has amassed 657 runs in 35 matches at a sensational strike rate of 141.59. The 31-year-old is flexible to slot in at any position and can also give a few overs with the ball.

RR decided to put their money on the Kiwi player for the 2022 season. However, with Jos Buttler being sensational at the top and Shimron Hetmyer acing the role of a finisher, Mitchell could not get many games. He was drafted in to fill the all-rounder's void but he could not do justice to the role.

And in the two matches he played, the middle-order batter struggled to get going and scored 33 runs at a poor strike rate of 75.00. Besides the horror show with the bat, Mitchell leaked runs at an economy of 13.50. After the poor outings, he was dropped from the team and was not given another run.&nbsp;

With top-class all-rounders like Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, and Chris Woakes expected to feature in the upcoming mini-auction, Rajasthan might look to release Mitchell and free up an overseas slot.
