Rajasthan Royals enter IPL 2025 with renewed ambition, determined to claim their second title. After a promising start in IPL 2024 that ended in disappointment, the franchise made key adjustments during the mega auction to strengthen its squad and address critical gaps. The inability to capitalize on early success has only fueled their resolve to go all the way this season.

Sanju Samson will continue as captain, but the biggest strategic shift comes with the appointment of Rahul Dravid as head coach. Dravid’s arrival marks a new era for the Royals, with an emphasis on mental resilience and tactical consistency. The core squad remains intact, with key players like Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel continuing to play vital roles.
