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.
1. Vignesh Puthur (Left-arm spinner)
Vignesh Puthur was one of the stories of the last season, breaking out for the Mumbai Indians before an unfortunate injury ruled him out for the season. Picking up three wickets against the Chennai Super Kings on debut, the left-arm wrist spinner showed promise with his bowling, but was released by MI. Rajasthan got him for his base price of INR 30 lakhs in the auction.
With the return of Ravindra Jadeja and the signing of Ravi Bishnoi, the Royals have two frontline-spinners who have innumerable amounts of experience in the IPL. Donovan Ferreira’s off-spin adds a third option, being able to chip in with overs. This would leave Vignesh having to compete over multiple top spinners for a spot in the Playing XI.
