In the 15th Indian Premier League, the Rajasthan Royals had a spectacular season in 2022. They played with purpose from the start and finished second in the group stage with nine victories in 14 games. The Samson-led squad will still have 13.2 crore INR in their pockets when the team’s retention list is announced. Rajasthan may fill four overseas positions during the player auction. Here are three players that might be targeted for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2023 auction.

Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes played an important role in the RR. Ben Stokes played for the Rajasthan Royals in the 2021 season. Due to a finger injury acquired during the game, he was ruled out of the tournament after one game.

In the 2020 season, the left-handed batsman scored 285 runs in 8 games for a 40.71 average, 1 century, and 1 half-century. As Ben Stokes spent his final season with the Rajasthan Royals, the franchise will do all in its ability to get him at the auction.

Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal was unexpectedly released by the Punjab Kings, the team he captained, prior to the IPL 2023 auction. Mayank may be an excellent backup Indian batter for Rajasthan. If Yashasvi Jaiswal or Devdutt Padikkal are injured or do not perform as expected, Mayank will be an excellent replacement.

In 107 innings, he has scored 2,326 runs at an average of 22.6, striking at 134.2. Agarwal is a stronger player than his statistics imply, and he’ll be hungry to succeed after being released.

Sam Curran

The 24-year-old allrounder had a tremendous run in the recently ended T20 World Cup, taking 13 wickets and averaging 6.52. For his outstanding performance, he was named ICC Player of the Tournament.

Although opting out of the IPL 2022 owing to an injury, he has played for CSK for two seasons: 2020 and 2021. Overall, he has appeared in 32 IPL matches (23 for CSK), capturing 32 wickets and scoring 337 runs with a strike rate of 150. Curran, whose starting bid is Rs 2 crore, will be a hot deal in the IPL 2023 auctions. And he can combine his batting talents with his fellow Englishman wicketkeeper batter, Jos Buttler, to form a lethal combo.
