Rajasthan Royals utilised the IPL 2026 auction primarily to add an elite Indian spinner and bolster their pace-bowling depth, successfully spending a combined Rs 13.40 crore to complete their squad.
The Royals’ biggest buy was securing the services of star Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for Rs 7.20 crore. His addition provides a proven, wicket-taking wrist-spin option to partner with Ravindra Jadeja’s left-arm orthodox.
RR also smartly used their remaining overseas slot on New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne for Rs 2.40 crore, adding an international pace option. The return of domestic fast bowler Kuldeep Sen (Rs 75 lakh) after a season away further solidifies their Indian pace unit.
