IPL 2022: Best starting playing XI of Rajasthan Royals (RR) after mega auction
Rajasthan Royals came into the IPL 2022 mega auction with a purse remaining of INR 62 Crores.
7. James Neesham
James Neesham was bought in the IPL 2022 mega auction at the last stages considering the lack of all-round options in the Royals franchise. The New Zealander has been a constant feature in the international setup and did do a lot of damage towards the back end of the innings in the T20 World Cup 2021.
Neesham considering his abilities is good enough to bat at number six as well and he is yet to set the stage on fire in the cash-rich tournament. He was picked up for his base price of INR 2 Crores and has been part of various franchises in the past including Mumbai Indians last year.
His IPL numbers aren’t to be spoken much of and this year he might get an extended run of opportunities for the balance of the side. Neesham is one of the underrated all-rounders going around as he can smack the ball a long way and bowls his medium pacers at a brisk speed as well.
