But even so, the truth is that there are some weekly links in the squad. If these weak links in the team are broken next season, fans will see an even stronger Rajasthan team. They can increase the strength of the team by bringing in some of the best players from the auction. Let’s take a look at some of the superstars that the Rajasthan Royals might acquire next season.
Ben Stokes
England’s Ben Stokes is currently one of the best fast bowling all-rounders in the world. He is known for his explosive batting and is also good at taking wickets at crucial moments through fast bowling. Stokes, who played for the Rajasthan Royals from 2018 to 2021, has scored 920 runs and taken 28 wickets in 43 matches in the IPL.
He did not attend this year’s IPL mega auction due to personal reasons. But he is expected to be up for auction next season. If Stokes can be acquired from there, there is no doubt that the balance of the Rajasthan team will increase in the coming season.
Mitchell Stark
Australia’s Mitchell Starc is currently one of the best pace bowlers in the world. Starc, who has not played much in the IPL, was not registered for the auction this time. But if the player is up for auction next season, Rajasthan should try to acquire him. If it does, the Royals will have a fiery bowling attack with Trent Bolt and Mitchell Starc.
The arrival of Stark, who excels in both powerplay overs and death overs, will make Rajasthan’s fast bowling department, including Prasidh Krishna, world-class. But there is no doubt that there will be fierce competition between the teams to acquire Stark if he is available for auction.
Shakib Al Hasan
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan is one of the top players to be unsold in this IPL star auction. But it is believed that he was not considered by the teams in the auction as Bangladesh have international matches during the IPL. The Royals may be looking for Shakib, a top-order batsman and left-arm spinner, if he is up for auction next season.
Currently, Rajasthan have a strong spin line-up with R Ashwin and Yusvendra Chahal. If Shakib is brought in, Rajasthan’s spin department will take it to another level. Shakib, who has played 71 matches in the IPL so far, has scored 793 runs and taken 63 wickets.
Indian Finisher / All-rounder
The lack of a good Indian finisher and Indian all-rounder is one of the major shortcomings of the Rajasthan Royals this season. Ryan Parag, who was given the job of finishing the team this time, was not bothered in any way by the fact that he might not put out a significant improvement. The absence of an Indian all-rounder is also on the rise. It is important for Rajasthan to try to acquire an Indian all-rounder and finisher either in the next IPL auction or through trading.

Sam Karan
Sam Karan is one of England’s best all-rounders. The player, who had previously played for Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, was ruled out of the auction this year due to injury. He is expected to be auctioned off next season. The Rajasthan squad will be more balanced if they can bring in Sam Karan, who is a good fast bowler and can make a significant contribution to the batting line-up. He has played 32 matches in the IPL so far and has scored 337 runs and 332 runs.
