Not Yuzvendra Chahal!! List of players set to be released by Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL Mega Auction 2025

The preparations for the IPL 2025 auction are on with the forthcoming meetings between IPL franchises and BCCI. Notably, the IPL 2025 auction is a mega auction where teams will be allowed to retain only a few players in their squads.

Rajasthan Royals has been led by Sanju Samson for the last few seasons. They have also shown wonderful performances since the 2022 season, where they ended as runners-up. In IPL 2024, they finished in the 3rd spot and qualified for playoffs. However, the IPL 2008 champions lost the Qualifier 2 match to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Rajasthan Royals has a strong squad currently and they will try to retain and get back their best players during the IPL 2025 auction. However, they will also part ways with many players as they can only retain a few players. Below we glance at 3 players RR can release ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.

3 players who will be released by Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2025 auction

3. Keshav Maharaj

Keshav Maharaj is the first player that Rajasthan Royals can release from their squad ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. The South Africa spinner was part of IPL 2024. He played just 2 games where he got 2 wickets.

The left-arm spinner had an average of 19.50 and an economy of 6.50. Notably, Rajasthan already have world-class spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal on their side and they also performed well in IPL 2024. Hence, Maharaj might be snubbed for the next season.

2. Tom-Kohler Cadmore

Tom-Kohler Cadmore is another player on this list. The England batsman was picked by the franchisee last season. He also played 4 games for the side but could only smack 48 runs in 4 games.

He also struggled with his strike rate across 3 innings he batted; scoring runs at 88+ with a top knock of 20. RR might look for another powerful batter in IPL 2025 and drop him from the squad.

1. Donovan Ferreira

Donovan Ferreira was picked by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2023 auction. However, he did not play any games in his debut season. The South Africa batsman was picked in 2 games in the 2024 season.

He got out for 7 runs in one game and 1 run in the other game. Hence, he had a poor outing with the bat in both matches and the team also benched him in other games. Hence, RR can now release him ahead of the IPL 2025 auction.
