IPL 2024 Auction - Full list of players retained and released by Rajasthan Royals
Story highlights
RR retained and released list: RR also became the first team to complete a trade ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction, with batter Devdutt Padikkal joining Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), while their seamer Avesh Khan coming into the Rajasthan-based franchise.
RR retained and released list: The inaugural winner of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals (RR), is another star-studded team in the tournament. Led by keeper-batter Sanju Samson, and with several match-winners in the squad, they have the potential to fight for their second IPL trophy come the 17th edition.
Finishing fifth in IPL 2023 and failing to qualify for the playoffs would further boost the RR franchise to make the best bids at the IPL 2024 mini-auction. With all eyes on the D-Day, scheduled in Dubai on Tuesday (Dec 19), Rajasthan Royals’ think tank will have a lot of homework to do.

Meanwhile, RR retained the core but let go of players who either failed to leave a mark last season or don’t fit in their setup moving forward. Outside of Padikkal, who didn't get regular games in the IPL 2023 due to overcrowded top-order, RR let go of some top foreign names, including Joe Root and Jason Holder.
Besides, the Indian spin-bowling pair of KC Cariappa and Murugan Ashwin are also released.
