— Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals) December 26, 2018

Shashank has been a fringe player for Delhi Capitals in the past, but Rajasthan Royals decided to bet on him last season.

His services cost them Rs. 30 lakhs, but he can do some damage with both the bat and ball. He’s known to be a good fielder as well, and thus the Royals may count on him to give his side an extra dimension.

Shreyas Gopal:

The all-rounder has been a handy player for the Royals. His stats from last season were extremely impressive, as he fetched his side 20 wickets in 14 games. He can play the role of a finisher as well but primarily the Rajasthani team will bank on him to provide breakthroughs in crucial games.

Gopal’s salary for IPL 2020 will be Rs. 20 lakhs.

Steve Smith:

The Australian batsman returned to the IPL last year after serving a year-long ban due to the ball-tampering scandal. While Smith did not have the best of seasons, he scored 319 runs last year and will definitely want to get more this season and lead his team to the title.

Smith’s salary for IPL 2020 will be Rs. 12.50 crores.

Tom Curran:

One of the picks for Rajasthan Royals’ IPL auction 2020, the 24-year-old all-rounder can be a handy death bowler and has the ability to hit the ball cleanly.

His salary for this season will be Rs. 1 crore and Curran will look to play a starring role for his team and try to make England’s squad for the upcoming 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia.

Varun Aaron:

Varun Aaron has the talent but injuries have been pulling him back from fulfilling his potential.

The 30-year-old will look to fight for his place in the team with the likes of Jaydev Unadkat, and Shreyas Gopal also in contention.

His salary for IPL 2020 will be Rs. 2.40 crores.

Yashasvi Jaiswal:

The youngster recently hit a century against Pakistan in the U19 World Cup for team India and he looks to be a shrewd addition for the Royals’.

He did cost them a fortune, Rs. 2.40 crores to be precise, but with the talent that he possesses, Jaiswal could be the next Virat Kohli for the India team.
