Rajasthan Royals (RR) are gearing up for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. They have held on to their core of six players, which has left ₹ 41 crores in their purse to make some savvy additions. With skipper Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, and Sandeep Sharma already locked in, RR’s batting line-up looks well-stocked.

However, they will be on the hunt for a dynamic finisher, a sharp spinner, and a lethal pacer. Here’s a look at three marquee player, whom Rajasthan Royals will target at the IPL 2025 mega auction.

3. David Miller

Why Will RR Target David Miller?

David Miller, who had his best seasons with Gujarat Titans (GT), could make a grand return to RR. Miller has been with the Royals, so he knows the team’s culture. Over the years, he’s amassed an impressive 2924 runs at an average of 36.55 and a stunning strike rate of 139.24. In 2022, his consistency was on another level, smashing 481 runs at an staggering average of 68.71.

The past couple of seasons may not have been quite as explosive for the southpaw but his ability to deliver under pressure has never vanished. He could easily join forces with Hetmyer in the lower order to bring that finishing touch RR needs.


2. Kagiso Rabada

Why Will RR Target Kagiso Rabada?

Rajasthan Royals are on the lookout for a star overseas pacer to lead their bowling attack, and Kagiso Rabada fits the bill perfectly. The Protean speedster, who was released by Punjab Kings ahead of the auction, has an incredible in the IPL. With 117 wickets in just 80 games and the 2020 Purple Cap to his name, he’s proved himself as one of the league’s top performers.

Rabada’s flexibility makes him even more valuable—he’s as dangerous with the new ball as he is in the death overs. Adding him to the squad would give RR a bowling edge they’ve been missing, especially in those high-stakes, nail-biting matches.

1. Yuzvendra Chahal

Why Will RR Target Yuzvendra Chahal?

RR has no spinners in their retained list and getting back Yuzvendra Chahal could be a masterstroke. The seasoned leggie, who has the distinction of being the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, was absolutely sensational during his time with the inaugural champions where he grabbed 66 scalps in just 46 games, which is why the decision to not retain him was a shocker.

Moreover, in 2022, he ran riot and clinched the Purple Cap with 27 wickets. Chahal’s immense experience, his ability to rise to the occasion, and his familiarity with the Royals’ setup make him the ideal choice for RR’s spin department.
