Rajasthan Royals retained this cricketer for IPL 2025, paid Rs 4.6 lakh for each run he scored

Rajasthan Royals endured a tough season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. Ahead of the mega auction, they released some of their top players like Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Trent Boult, among others, but their replacement players couldn't reap similar rewards. Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, and Sandeep Sharma were their retentions ahead of IPL 2025. While most of their retained players fared decently, Hetmyer was the biggest disappointment for the Royals this season.
