Rajasthan Royals: Full Squad After IPL 2026 Auction

Ravi Bishnoi, a leg-spinner from India, stood in the middle of a fierce competition for his bidding in the IPL 2026 mini-auction and finally got signed by Rajasthan Royals for ₹7.20 crore. SunRisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings were both fighting hard for his signature, but RR closed the deal after CSK dropped the offer to ₹7 crore.

In addition to Bishnoi, the Royals brought in three uncapped Indian players as part of their roster strengthening—Sushant Mishra for ₹90 lakh, Yash Raj Punja for ₹30 lakh, and Vignesh Puthur for ₹30 lakh. This strategy of the team to invest in young domestic talents is clearly highlighted by these new signings.

Rajasthan took the spotlight last month when they traded their longtime skipper, Sanju Samson, to the Chennai Super Kings. The experienced all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran were the two players coming into the team, which is a move to make the team stronger and more stable.

The Royals have not only made these changes but also kept their core batting unit, which consists of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and 14-year-old internet sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, thus guaranteeing a flattering mix of youth and experience.
