IPL 2025 - Best Domestic Players Rajasthan Royals Squad

Rajasthan Royals won their first IPL trophy in 2008, which was also the first season of the league. Since then, they have failed to showcase the same performance and have reached the final game just once in 2023.

In recent times, Rajasthan Royals have come out as a strong team that has developed a winning culture among the players. In the previous edition of the league, Rajasthan Royals finished the league stage at the 3rd spot with 8 wins and 5 losses. Their net run rate stood at +0.273.

One of the biggest aspects of Rajasthan Royals is that they are known to develop new talent from the grounds of Indian domestic cricket. The Royals identify new talent develop them as a player and prepare them for future challenges.

During the IPL 2025 mega auctions, Rajasthan Royals team management went in with the same strategy and signed some of the best names from the Indian Domestic Circuit. These players have performed exceptionally well in the recently held domestic tournaments and the Rajasthan Royals scouts kept a close eye on them.

Rajasthan Royals have not won any trophy since 2008. They have been unfortunate but the team is known not to give up in tough situations. With the introduction of these fresh new faces, the team management will hope for a better outcome.

Here is a list of some of the best domestic players that Rajasthan Royals will have for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.

1) Shubham Dubey

Shubham Dubey is one of the T20 expert cricketers from India’s domestic cricket. He has an excellent batting record and has always proved to be a valuable addition to the Vidarbha squad. During the IPL 2025 mega auction, Shubham Dubey was signed by Rajasthan Royals for a price tag of INR 80 Lakhs. He has already played for the Royals in the past and knows the team culture very well. This year, Dubey might get more opportunities to prove his talent because of his performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25.

2) Kumar Kartikeya

A left-arm spinner, Kumar Kartikeya, made headlines with his performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 with his fabulous performance. He came out as the 2nd highest wicket-taker in the league. Kumar Kartikeya is a very niche spinner who can bowl both wrist and orthodox spin. He was part of Mumbai Indians for some time but now the talented spinner will be playing with Rajasthan Royals.

Considering his experience in IPL, Rajasthan Royals will use him for the upcoming season of IPL.

After grinding his pace talent for 9 years in domestic cricket, Tushar made his debut for Team India in 2024 against Zimbabwe.
