The list of retained players for IPL 2025 has been announced. Rajasthan Royals have surprised everyone and retained 6 players, in which the names of veterans like R Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are not included. Under the guidance of head coach Rahul Dravid, Rajasthan has also retained a player who has been out of the Indian team for the last 9 years. Not only that, that player was not sold even in the last season of IPL, but due to a player injury, he joined Rajasthan mid-season. Rajasthan Royals first retained captain Sanju Samson, although this team did not give Sanju the highest salary. Let us tell you about the list of interesting retained players from Rajasthan.
Great decision for Rajasthan Royals
Apart from captain Sanju Samson, Rajasthan Royals have retained Yashasvi Jaiswal in the team. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel also remain in the team. Explosive West Indies batsman Shimron Hetmyer has also been retained. The big news is that Sandeep Sharma has also been retained. Talking about money, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal were held for Rs 18 crore each. While young batsman Riyan Parag received Rs 14 million. Batsman-wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel has also been retained for Rs 14 crore. Shimron Hetmyer has been retained for Rs 11 crore and Sandeep Sharma for Rs 4 crore.
The biggest winner of the match was eliminated.
The Rajasthan team also showed the way out to one of their biggest match-winners, Jos Buttler. Butler’s form and fitness are not the same as before, which is why Rajasthan took this decision. Additionally, the team also kept Trent Boult out of the team, which is a tough decision. Now the question is which players the team will bet on in the auction because this team doesn’t even have RTM left.
Rajasthan did not retain these players
Jos Buttler, Donovan Ferreira, Krunal Rathod, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Sen, Navdeep Saini, Prasidh Krishna, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Abid Mushtaq, Nandre Berger.
