In this latest episode of The Bhaais, Rajasthan Royals walk into the IPL 2026 Auction as one of the most intriguing teams of the season after a decisive retention–release shake-up. The franchise kept its young Indian core led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel while banking heavily on the blockbuster arrivals of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. But the long list of exits — including Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Kumar Kartikeya and several domestic backups — has left RR light in two crucial departments: frontline spin and Indian bench depth.
In this episode, Jai Sharma, Rishit Khanna, and Vinamra Mehrotra – our very own Bhaais – dive into why those gaps could define RR’s auction strategy, how the spin overhaul impacts their balance, and which Indian backups must top their radar. With a modest purse of INR 16.5 crore and several specialist roles vacant, RR head into the auction knowing they must rebuild their spin engine and reinforce the domestic core if they want to stay competitive in 2026.
