IPL 2026: Top 3 Worst Releases by Rajasthan Royals in IPL History

3. Trent Boult

Trent Boult formed a dangerous new-ball partnership during his time with the Rajasthan Royals and brought world-class quality to their pace attack. His ability to swing the ball early and dismiss top-order batters made him a major weapon in the powerplay. 

However, RR released him, and the New Zealand pacer later returned to another franchise where his value remained unquestioned. In hindsight, parting ways with his former franchise, the Mumbai Indians, with such a proven fast bowler was a significant mistake.
