The Rajasthan Royals (RR) are gearing up for IPL 2025 with renewed optimism, having revamped their squad. Led by captain Sanju Samson and head coach Rahul Dravid, the team aims to learn from past mistakes and deliver a strong performance this season.
Key players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has been in stellar form, and the return of Jofra Archer from injury will play pivotal roles in RR’s strategy. The franchise has bolstered its bowling attack with the additions of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana. However, the absence of star players such as Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal raises questions about the depth of their batting lineup.
With a balanced mix of youth and experience, the Royals are determined to make a strong playoff push and potentially clinch their second IPL title.
