RR signed Joe Root and Jason Holder in the auction

Rajasthan Royals entered the mini auction with an amount of INR 13.2 crore, which was the third lowest among other. However, with this amount, they tried to bid for Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, Nicholas Pooran, Shivam Mavi, and Mayank Dagar, but they were overpowered by other franchises with more money. RR had an impressive IPL season in 2022, finishing runners-up after losing in the final to the Gujarat Titans. RR began bidding for English star Hary Brook and entered a bidding war with Sunrierser Hyderabad.

They lost the bid with a lower remaining purse value. However, after that, they tried to bid for other big names as well but failed due to a lower purse value. However, the franchise succeeded in picking veteran West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder, who also plays for the Barbados Royals in the CPL. He was signed for an amount of INR 5.75 crore. With almost half the purse value spent on Holder, the franchise kept quiet for a while.

But they made their comeback in the second half of the event. The franchise acquired South African wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel for INR 20 lakh. He can be a back-up wicketkeeper for Samson and Buttler in the team. RR also signed Kunal Rathore, Murugan Ashwin, KM Asif, Akash Vashisht, and Abdul PA for their respective base prices. However, an exciting purchase was former English skipper Joe Root. RR picked him for his base price of INR 1 crore, and this is the first time that Root will be part of the IPL.
