Key players of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026
Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi Jaiswal has come a long way since his IPL debut and will now be part of the leadership group as he is one of RR’s senior batsmen.
Yashasvi has been a consistent run scorer in the Indian Premier League and he will have to take up the responsibility of doing so once again, considering the fact that he bats at the top of the order and has the ability to put pressure on the opposition.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
The kid who created a stir by scoring a brilliant century against Gujarat Titans in the last IPL season, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been the talk of the town ever since and a lot of good things have happened since then, one of them being his consistent run scoring.
Vaibhav will look to continue the good work in back-to-back seasons and convert the starts he gets into big scores by playing with his natural aggressive style while opening the innings for Rajasthan Royals.
Dhruv Jurel
Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dhru Jurel could prove to be a dark horse for Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming season, as he has the ability to play useful innings at crucial moments in the game.
Jurel will also be expected to work his way behind the stumps as he will now be keeping wickets on a permanent basis in the absence of former skipper Sanju Samson, who has been roped in by Chennai Super Kings for veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
jofra archer
Amid a poor season in 2025, one bowler who made a strong comeback after being costly to the team in the first match was Jofra Archer.
The team management would like him to continue his good performance from last season and take early wickets for the team in the first six overs.
Archer will also expect good support from other bowlers, which was not there in the previous edition.
