IPL 2023: 5 Rajasthan Royals players who might be benched throughout upcoming season
Rajasthan Royals lost to Gujarat Titans in the summit clash and had to contend with the runners-up title in IPL 2022.
4. KC Cariappa
KC Cariappa has been a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The 28-year-old has bamboozled batters with his variations and is known for providing timely breakthroughs. He has featured in 38 matches in the shortest format and bagged 37 wickets at an economy of 6.75.
However, Cariappa has not been that successful in the Indian Premier League and has picked up only eight scalps in 11 games at an economy of 9.67. Rajasthan Royals signed the Karnataka spinner at the 2022 mega auction to add variety to their spin-bowling department. But he was not able to break into the playing XI.
The team management decided to retain the ace spinner for the following season. However, due to the presence of Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Murugan Ashwin in the spin department, Cariappa is likely to warm the bench throughout the 16th IPL edition as well.
