Sanju Samson will captain Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2024.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) had a decent performance in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), but still failed to qualify for the playoffs. In such a situation, the fans of Rajasthan would like their team to forget its previous season and enter the 2024 IPL tournament with confidence. Under the captaincy of Sanju Samson, Rajasthan will once again try to win the trophy after 16 years.
Let us tell you that in the mini auction which was held before the start of the season, Royals spent Rs 14.30 crore and bought five players. Ahead of the auction, they traded Devdutt Padikkal for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) fast bowler Avesh Khan. Now in the meantime we will take a look at the strongest playing XI of Rajasthan Royals for this season.
RR’s strongest playing XI for IPL 2024 (Best Playing XI of Rajasthan Royals)
1 Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler was the Orange Cap winner in 2022 and similar performance was expected from him in 2023 as well. However, the wicketkeeper batsman failed to give his best performance in the new season. Playing 14 matches, he could score only 392 runs at an average of 28.00 and strike rate of 139.00.
In the 2024 IPL, the experienced batsman would like to try to give a good start to Rajasthan. Butler is one of the most reliable players of RR. He has proved himself in the team with his sensational batting performance. With 2696 runs in 72 matches at a strike rate of 148.78, he is the third-highest run-scorer for the Royals behind Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson.
