Five players Rajasthan Royals are likely to target target in IPL 2024 Auction

Rajasthan Royals released as many as nine players on IPL Retention Day, including senior players such as Joe Root and Jason Holder

Ahead of the upcoming auction in Dubai, we take a look at five players the 2008 champions are likely to target

The explosive England batter, who smashed a 55-ball ton for SRH this year, brings with him a sense of versatility given he can function effectively both as an opener and a middle-order batter

#1 Harry Brook

Daryl Mitchell, who had represented the Royals in a couple of matches in the 2022 season, had been among the leading run-scorers in the recent ICC World Cup

#2 Daryl Mitchell

Shahrukh Khan had been among the most surprising releases, given he had improved by leaps and bounds at PBKS this year, especially a finisher

#3 Shahrukh Khan

Powell could be considered an ideal replacement for Jason Holder; not just because they’re both from the Caribbean, but due to their ability to contribute both with bat and ball

#4 Rovman Powell

Should they fail to secure Powell, the Royals can always turn to Chris Woakes, who had made a solid impact with the ball for KKR in the 2017 season by collecting 17 wickets

#5 Chris Woakes
