5 players RR might release ahead of IPL 2026 auction
Rajasthan Royals (RR) finished at the ninth position in the IPL 2025.
Maheesh Theekshana
Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana, who was roped in to strengthen RR’s spin attack, also underperformed in IPL 2025, as he managed to take only 11 wickets in as many games, which was an underwhelming return for a bowler of his calibre.
He has earlier played for Chennai Super Kings with moderate success, but Theekshana’s spells lacked penetration and control in crucial moments. RR might consider releasing him to free up an overseas slot and bringing in a more effective spinner or all-round option.
