Jason Holder showed a poor form last season. The West Indies player is an all-rounder but failed to rock with both bat and ball in the last season. The right-handed batter batted in 3 games and could only score 12 runs with the bat.
While bowling, the right-arm pacer could only pick up 3 wickets in 8 games. He also held a high economy of 9.96 while bowling. After his poor show, the franchise might look to replace him with a powerful all-rounder.
2. Navdeep Saini

Navdeep Saini played 2 matches for Rajasthan Royals in the last season. However, the right-arm pacer picked 3 wickets across 2 games. He was too expensive with the ball, leaking runs at an economy of 12.33.
Due to his high economy rate, he was also dropped from the rest of the games. As a result, Rajasthan Royals might show doors to Navdeep Saini ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.

Till his time in Royal Challengers Bangalore, Devdutt Padikkal was a powerful opening batsman. However, he could not replicate the same performance after joining Rajasthan Royals. Playing for RR in the middle-order, he mustered 261 runs from 11 games at an average of 26.10.
Padikkal is an opening batsman. However, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Butter in the squad, Rajasthan Royals removed Jaiswal as opener. The franchise cannot replace Buttler or Jaiswal as openers due to their outstanding records for the last few seasons. As a result, the franchise might release Devdutt Padikkal ahead of the next season.
