Rajasthan Royals’ strongest playing XII for IPL 2025: Jaiswal-Vaibhav dependent; can Jadeja help RR?

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) got what they needed from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction. That was Ravi Bishnoi. RR played two overseas spinners in Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana last year and that was a mistake that hampered their combination. Now, that is sorted with Bishnoi coming in, and not for an expensive amount either.

RR weaved their magic even before the IPL auction when they completed two trades, bringing in Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja and Donovan Ferreira. It solved a major issue in their team: the lack of all-rounders. Ferreira’s inclusion is massive since he really bolsters the finishing prowess. Below, Insidesport takes a look at Rajasthan’s strongest playing XII.
