Rajasthan Royals (RR) made a notable start at the IPL Players Auction 2024 by securing West Indies all-rounder Rovman Powell for a sum of Rs 7.4 crore. Powell was the first buy for RR in the auction and for him, RR had a bidding war with the two-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders.
Rovman Powell had a base price of Rs 1 crore and was released by Delhi Capitals ahead of the auction. Despite the relatively modest starting price, Rajasthan Royals secured his services for an impressive amount of Rs 7.4 crore, making him a key addition to their squad for the upcoming IPL season.
They also got the services of the English batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore, whom they bought at his base price of INR 40 Lakhs.
The performance of Rajasthan Royals has been impressive under the captaincy of Sanju Samson. The team went into the final in the 2022 edition where they had to lose the battle against Gujarat Titans.

Rovman Powell (Rs. 7.4 crore), Shubham Dubey (Rs. 5.80 crore), Tom Kohler-Cadmore (Rs. 40 lakh), Abid Mushtaq (Rs. 20 lakh), Nandre Burger (Rs. 50 lakh)
