2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) runners-up Rajasthan Royals could again mean business in the upcoming 2023 edition. RR have a balanced playing XI, especially if you put the regulars, but the overall depth in certain areas lacks bite. However, the positives of last season will play in their minds. Skipper Sanju Samson will count on his resources to replicate the heroics. RR have a nice blend throughout their playing XI, and the addition of Jason Holder in the squad for a whopping 5.75 crore gives them the edge. RR have a lack of edge in batting depth, especially on the bench; therefore, having key players fit and ready will mean a lot. WithPrasidh Krishna set to miss IPL 2023, RR have been hit hard. They will now have to find that desired balance in the pace department. Spin remains RR's strength, and the purchase of Adam Zampa bolsters the department well. RR will bank upon seasoned stars in their batting and hope the runs flow. Jos Buttler had a dream 2022 campaign and will again be the star factor on this side. Yashasvi Jaiswal is in dream form, and Shimron Hetmyer remains their standout performer with his blitz on offer. RR will need to start the tournament well, and a consistent set of performances could serve them ably. Fans will be excited to see the Royals go about their business and continue the journey that started last season. RR can ill afford the issues which plagued them before the 2022 season. Here we present the complete analysis of RR.
