Rajasthan Royals retained their skipper Sanju Samson and key overseas star Jos Buttler, along with young uncapped Indian Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Having finished second-last in the 2021 IPL season, the franchise had a fair bit of work to do in terms of rebuilding the squad. The Royals had Rs 62 crore when they started the auction.
The first player they got on board in the IPL Auction was India's spinner R Ashwin. They ended the auction with Rs 95 lakh left in the purse, and place for one more Indian player in the squad. RR have 24 players in their squad.
All franchises have been allowed an auction spending cap of Rs 90 crore by the IPL Governing Council. There is also a Rs 67.5 crore minimum spending limit.
A full IPL squad can have a maximum of 25 players and a minimum of 18.
