IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals' probable playing XI and squad composition

Rajasthan Royals (RR) don’t have too many big names in their squad for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 and don’t look as strong as some other teams on paper. However, there’s enough firepower in the set-up to beat any team on their day. 

Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag are game-changers with the bat, while Fazalhaq Farooqi and Sandeep Sharma are as effective as they come. There’s also Jofra Archer, who can wreak havoc if he stays fit. RR also have two world-class T20 spinners from Sri Lanka - Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana.

The IPL 2025 will start on March 14 and end on May 2025. The schedule for the tournament hasn’t been announced yet.
