RR Team 2026 Players List: Rajasthan Royals began their IPL 2026 mini-auction process by signing up India spinner Ravi Bishnoi for Rs 7.20 crore after staving off bids from Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bishnoi has been part of Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants in the past, picking up 72 wickets from 77 matches across six seasons. He was let go by LSG after a poor 2025 season.Earlier, they engaged in a bidding war for Cameron Green at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday but eventually dropped off as CSK and KKR went at it, with the latter getting their man at Rs 25.2 crore. In the uncapped round, RR snapped up Sushant Mishra, Vignesh Puthur and Yash Raj Punja. While Sushant was signed at Rs 90 lakh, the other two went at their base price of Rs 30 lakh. RR finally added an overseas player to their ranks at the very end with a Rs 2.40 crore bid for New Zealand pacer Adam Milne, while they also brought back pacer Kuldeep Sen.
Rajasthan entered the mini-auction process with a purse of Rs 16.05 crore. In November, RR had made a massive decision to release nine players, including the release their captain and wicket-keeper, Sanju Samson, in a major trade deal with the Chennai Super Kings. In return, RR secured a reunion with Ravindra Jadeja, who made an impact with the franchise during his fledgling days in the IPL early on from the 2008 season. Rajasthan also brought in the services of England pace all-rounder Sam Curran in the trade deal with CSK.
