RR already traded Devdutt Padikkal to Lucknow Super Giants for Avesh Khan. With Avesh coming in they have another young Indian pacer joining their side. The Sanju Samson-led side would also like to add some good batters in their squad to support their middle order and after Joe Root's decision to not play in IPL 2024, their hunt for a strong middle order batter will only increase.

All 10 IPL franchises have to submit their complete list of released and retained players before the retention deadline which is November 26. The Indian Premier League auction is set to take place in Dubai, on December 19.

RR have 3.35 crores INR remaining in their purse currently. RR overall seems to have a pretty good balance and that is why it should not be a tough task for them to gather the remaining pieces of the puzzle at the auction table.
