IPL 2024: Five overseas players that Rajasthan Royals can target during IPL 2024 Auctions
These are the five overseas players Rajasthan Royals could bid for during IPL Auction 2024.
Inaugural IPL winners Rajasthan Royals haven’t come close to achieving the lofty feats they did in 2008. The closest they came to winning their second IPL was in 2022 when they lost to Gujarat Titans in the final.
Ahead of the IPL 2024 Auctions in Dubai on the 19th of December, Sanju Samson and his side have a few decisions to make. Rajasthan Royals have just left with INR 14.5 Crores in the bank.
Joe Root has already been released, and the Englishman has decided not to play IPL in 2024. The men from Jaipur will be looking at adequate backup options as far as overseas players are concerned. In this article, we take a look at the five overseas players that Rajasthan Royals could buy during the IPL 2024 Auctions.
#1. Ibrahim Zadran – Afghanistan

Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran could be a smart buy during IPL 2024 Auctions for Rajasthan Royals. The 23-year-old impressed everyone with his batting during the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament in India. Jos Buttler’s latest form hasn’t been convincing, and Rajasthan Royals could be looking at the Afghan opener to provide adequate backup.
#2. Dwaine Pretorius – South Africa

The man from Kent is a very dangerous batter in the T20 format and is also known for being safe behind the wickets. Despite playing for a few teams in the IPL, Sam Billings hasn’t hammered down his place in the league. Sawai Mansingh Stadium could be the next location for the 31-year-old ahead of the new season in 2024.
#4. Phil Salt – England
