Rajasthan Royals Probable Retention Players 2022: RR keen to retain these 4 players

They
have
been
a
rare
entrant
into
the
knockouts
even,
and
would
want
to
change
all
in
the
IPL
2022.
They
will
take
a
baby
step
towards
that
goal
when
they
try
to
acquire
some
new
players
from
the
mega
auction
ahead
of
the
IPL
2022,
and
possibly
retain
some
players
whom
they
believe
can
form
the
core
unit
of
the
side
for
sometime
to
come.

Let’s
take
a
look
at
some
of
them.

Sanju
Samson

There
have
been
romours
that
Sanju,
who
captained
the
side
in
IPL
2021,
would
part
ways
with
the
team
ahead
of
IPL
2022
with
Chennai
Super
Kings
the
possible
destination.
But
then
there
are
other
reports
that
he
might
stay
back
at
the
RR
for
another
term.
What
is
certain
at
this
time
that
the
Rajasthan
would
want
Sanju
in
their
ranks,
who
made
most
runs
for
them
in
IPL
2021
with
484
runs
with
a
hundred
and
two
fifties.
He
indeed
captained
the
side
with
poise
too.

Jose
Buttler

Buttler
played
just
seven
matches
in
the
first
leg
of
the
tournament
held
in
India
but
the
impact
he
created
was
big.
The
Englishman
scored
254
runs
from
7
matches
at
a
strike
rate
above
153.
However,
Buttler
skipped
the
IPL
2021
second
leg
held
at
the
UAE
citing
personal
reasons.
Buttler
then
came
back
for
England
in
the
ICC
T20
World
Cup
2021
and
carried
England
till
the
semis,
and
made
a
hundred
too
in
the
tournament.
Buttler’s
performance
would
make
the
Royals
eager
to
retain
the
services
of
the
England
star
in
IPL
2022
too.
He
can
also
keep
wickets,
and
that
gives
the
side
a
lot
of
flexibility.

Yashasvi
Jaiswal

Jaiswal
had
a
middling
run
in
the
first
half
of
IPL
2021
but
at
the
UAE
the
talented
left-hander
played
some
good
knocks
that
kept
the
RR
in
contention
for
a
knockout
berth.
In
all,
he
made
249
runs
from
10
matches
at
a
strike
rate
of
148.21
and
showed
a
lot
of
promise.
Jaiswal
is
still
at
a
very
young
stage
of
his
career
and
could
make
a
lot
of
impact
in
the
IPL
if
he
gets
sufficient
backing
and
Royals
have
always
kept
an
eye
for
fresh
talents.
They
would
want
make
Jaiswal
their
own
Ruturaj
Gaikwad,
who
came
in
as
a
rookie
opener
for
Chennai
Super
Kings
and
then
made
a
lasting
impression,
which
also
opened
the
door
for
him
to
the
Indian
team.

Chetan
Sakariya

The
young
left-arm
seamer
was
the
second
highest
wicket-taker
for
RR
behind
Chris
Morris
with
14
wickets
from
as
many
games.
His
run-rate
of
8.1
is
slightly
better
than
Mustafizur
Rahman’s
8.4,
who
also
grabbed
14
wickets.
But
Sakariya
might
just
get
the
nod
ahead
of
the
veterans
because
he
has
showed
a
cool
head
under
pressure
and
can
serve
the
team
for
a
longer
term.
