IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals Team Analysis, Possible11, Full Squads
Updated - 18-MAR-2025 10:17 IST
The Rajasthan Royals (RR), who won the first IPL championship in 2008, are preparing for the IPL 2025 with hopes of winning a second one. By mixing seasoned foreign players with up-and-coming talent, RR wants to be an effective opponent this season.
SWOT Of Rajasthan Royals
Strengths
- Strong Batting Lineup: With aggressive batsmen like Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson, RR can set or chase big scores.
- Strong Spin Attack: Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana's inclusion creates a strong spin attack that can take benefit from subcontinental pitches.
Weaknesses
- Fast Bowling Depth: Jofra Archer leads the pace attack, but the supporting pacers don't have a lot of IPL experience, which could hurt their performance when things go close.
- Middle-Order Unity: The middle order may become unreliable if young players like Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel depend upon it.
Opportunities
- New Talents: Vaibhav Suryavanshi and other young people have the opportunity to perform on a large stage.
- Leadership Development: As Sanju Samson continues his captaincy danger, he will have the chance to hone his skills as a leader.
Threats
- Injury Issues: Jofra Archer and other key players have already struggled with injuries; their health will be crucial for RR's success.
- Squad Balance: After RR released important players like Jos Buttler and Trent Boult, former cricket player Aakash Chopra voiced bookings about the team's balance.
