The Indian Premier League has evolved and emerged over the years as the largest and most expensive league in the world. When the IPL was inaugurated in 2008, the first team to bag the trophy was Rajasthan Royals which was led by Shane Warne.

It hasn’t been a bed of roses for the Royals&#8217; management as well as for their players. The team was banned for two years in 2016 and 2017. After their first title, they have qualified for playoffs only thrice. They have not been a consistently performing team and have always been the underdogs.

The team has tried three foreign and three Indian captains to date. This team always had good overseas players but they have lacked in having a consistent Indian performer except for Sanju Samson. Some core players are expected to be retained by this side in the upcoming mega auction.

Here are four players Rajasthan Royals might retain ahead of the mega auctions:

1. Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler is a swashbuckling English wicketkeeper-batter. He has been a phenomenal player for any side he represents. His ease to hit huge boundaries and his flexibility to adapt in any position to bat along with his wicket-keeping skills make him one of the bests of the game.

Butler can change any course of the inning to his team’s favour. He is a splendid opener and can also switch role as a finisher. He played his first IPL in 2016 for Mumbai Indians. He was then picked by Rajasthan Royals in 2018 and has been on their side till now and hope to contribute more to their team.

He has an IPL career strike rate of 150 and an average of 35.14 with his highest score being 124. His extravagant form in the ongoing T20-World Cup along with his contributions for the Rajasthan side will make him a sure-shot player to be retained.

2. Sanju Samson

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Sanju Samson debuted in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals in 2013, who was just 18 years old was the youngest player to hit a half-century in IPL. He is an exciting young prospect who could bat aggressively and is also an athletic keeper.

He has not played for the Royals only in those two years when the team was banned. He came back to their squad in 2018 when the team was included again. He has played a total of 121 matches and has an average of 29.21 with a striking rate of 134.20.

Samson was recently named as their captain and became the first skipper to score a century in his first match of captaincy. He has never been consistent with his bat but the responsibility of captaincy has made him score his highest runs of 484 in a season. So considering his age and ability, he could continue for the team as a core player for many more years.

3. Ben Stokes

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Ben Stokes is an incredible all-rounder who could bat and bowl extremely well. He is a rare kind of cricketer, bats at left-hand and bowls consistent speeds of over 140kmph from the right hand. He is one of the finest all-rounders of modern-day cricket.

Stokes made his IPL debut in 2017 when he was picked by the dissolved franchise Rising Pune Supergiants and became the highest-paid overseas player in the history of IPL that year. He proved his worth with his performances and eventually won the Most Valuable Player Award for that season.

He was picked by the Rajasthan team in 2018 and was the most expensive player in that auction too. After which his injury concerns ruined his IPL career and has not played a complete season till now. Even though he has been prone to injuries, he has proved his worth for the team whenever he got a chance.

4. Yashasvi Jaiswal

(Photo Source: Twitter/Indian Premier League)</figcaption>

Yashasvi Jaiswal is a left-handed batter, who was honoured with the player-of-the-tournament award in the 2020 U-19 World cup for being the highest run-scorer. After his successful campaign at the U-19 World cup, he got his maiden call to represent in the IPL matches for Rajasthan.

He was the youngest player in the world to score a double hundred in List A matches at an age of 17. He has played 13 IPL matches and has scored 289 runs with a strike rate of 136.32. He is a blooming cricketer who could be the future of the team.

He has all the possibilities to be groomed as a seasoned cricketer. His biggest advantage is his age and has a well-experienced cricketing background too. He might be retained in the team and can be groomed to become a very good prospect of them.
