3 Rajasthan Royals players who might be benched in IPL 2026
Let us take a look at three players who could be benched by the Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL season.
2, Dasun Shanaka (All-rounder)
Dasun Shanaka was brought in as an injury replacement for Sam Curran. Shanaka has made his name as a reliable all-rounder for Sri Lanka, contributing with both bat and ball. He adds reliable bowling, middle-order batting ability and leadership experience, having captained Sri Lanka in white-ball cricket.
His place in the RR squad, though, is not a guarantee. Ahead of him in the pecking order is South Africa’s Donavan Ferreira, a reliable finisher, who with his handy off-spin adds a differentiating factor to RR’s bowling attack. And with a wealth of reliable overseas pace-bowling options, Shanaka’s services may not need to be called upon.
