IPL Auction 2026: Full squad and new bought players for Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals (RR) made a big move at the IPL 2026 mini-auction by signing Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. RR bought Ravi Bishnoi for ₹7.2 crore, even though his base price was ₹2 crore. The franchise stayed out of the Cameron Green bidding war and instead used a large part of their budget to secure Bishnoi, who could become a key bowler for the team.

RR entered the mini-auction with a purse of ₹16.05 crore and spent almost half of it on Bishnoi alone. Along with him, the Royals added a few low-cost Indian players to increase squad depth. Former Mumbai Indians player Vignesh Puthur and young talent Yash Raj Punja were both signed for ₹30 lakh each.

After joining Rajasthan Royals, Ravi Bishnoi shared his feelings and said, “Playing for Rajasthan Royals will feel like playing at home. I started my cricket journey as a net bowler at RR, and now representing a team that carries the name of my state means a lot to me.” RR’s lead owner, Manoj Badale, also praised Bishnoi, calling his return a special moment for the franchise and its fans.
