<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a> (RR) picked a well-rounded squad at the 2022 mega auction with a nice blend of youth and experience. They reaped dividends of the same and reached the finals of the cash-rich league. Unfortunately, RR lost to Gujarat Titans in the summit clash and had to contend with the runners-up position.

With an eye on clinching their second IPL crown in the 16th edition, the Rajasthan franchise parted ways with nine cricketers and filled the void in the team with other top-quality players. RR are a well-oiled unit studded with proven performers of the T20 circuit. However, not everyone might get a chance to show their skills in the forthcoming season.

Here are five RR Players who might be benched throughout the 2023 season

Kuldip Yadav is an exciting left-arm seamer from the Delhi cricketing circles. The 26-year-old has the ability to move the ball both ways and also has a lethal bouncer up his sleeve to trouble the batters. He has been associated with Rajasthan Royals since IPL 2021.

However, in his two seasons with the Rajasthan side, Kuldip got just one opportunity where he conceded 16 runs in two overs. However, the team management have stuck with him for the upcoming season but the Delhi-pacer again is not likely to find a place in the playing XI.

RR have quality Indian pacers such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rario/prasidh-krishna-joins-team-rario-7788/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prasidh Krishna</a>, Kuldeep Sen, and Navdeep Saini, who have proven their mettle in the IPL arena time and time again. So, they are likely to be higher in the pecking order and therefore, Kuldip might not get a game in the upcoming season.

KC Cariappa has been a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The 28-year-old has bamboozled batters with his variations and is known for providing timely breakthroughs. He has featured in 38 matches in the shortest format and bagged 37 wickets at an economy of 6.75.&nbsp;

However, Cariappa has not been that successful in the Indian Premier League and has picked up only eight scalps in 11 games at an economy of 9.67. Rajasthan Royals signed the Karnataka spinner at the 2022 mega auction to add variety to their spin-bowling department. But he was not able to break into the playing XI.

The team management decided to retain the ace spinner for the following season. However, due to the presence of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ravichandran-ashwin-gives-befitting-response-to-troll-following-match-winning-heroics-against-bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravichandran Ashwin</a>, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Murugan Ashwin in the spin department, Cariappa is likely to warm the bench throughout the 16th IPL edition as well.

KM Asif has been a consistent performer in the Indian domestic circuit. The 29-year-old has featured in 11 List-A matches and bagged 18 scalps at an economy of 5.88. In the shortest format, he has picked up 33 scalps in 27 matches at an economy of 7.81.&nbsp;

Asif was sensational in the 2022 season of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/domestic-cricket/syed-mushtaq-ali-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy</a>, taking 12 wickets in seven games at an economy of 7.00. Rajasthan liked what they saw in the right-arm pacer and picked him at the IPL 2023 auction. However, there is a high possibility that he will be benched throughout the season.

Rajasthan have experienced Indian pacers in Prasidh and Saini at their disposal. Also, they possess Kuldeep, who brings another dimension to the pace attack with his pace. With the troika in the team, Asif might need to wait to play his first game for Rajasthan.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/my-dream-is-still-to-play-test-cricket-adam-zampa/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Zampa</a> has been a prominent figure in the shortest format of the game. The ace spinner has featured in 229 T20 games and picked up 264 wickets at an economy of 7.28. He has been phenomenal in the international arena as well, taking 82 wickets in 72 T20Is at an economy of 6.93.

Zampa is a wily customer and uses subtle changes in pace and variation. Also, he has the ability to bowl at any phase of the game. Rajasthan Royals signed the Australian spinner at the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL 2023</a> auction to bolster their spin department.

However, given the composition of the side, Zampa is not likely to find a place in the playing XI. RR most certainly will start with Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, and Trent Boult as their four overseas option.

With the spin department already oozing class in the presence of Ashwin and Chahal, the think tank might not be inclined towards altering the balance of the side by including the Australian leg-spinner in the XI.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/there-is-something-about-joe-root-which-makes-him-such-a-smooth-operator-on-the-22-yards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Root</a> has been a run-bank for England in both Tests and ODIs. The longest format of the game has been his happy hunting ground, where he has amassed 10629 runs in 127 matches at an average of 49.43. Talking about the 50-over format, the 32-year-old has aggregated 6207 runs in 158 games at an average of 50.05.

Root has the ability to anchor the innings beautifully and can also put bowling attacks under the pump with his marauding bat. Therefore, Rajasthan Royals decided to invest in the veteran batter and acquired him at the IPL 2023 auction.

Rajasthan have a lock jam at the top order with Devdutt Paddikal who is a designated opener required to slot in the middle order. Moreover, Sanju Samson &amp; co. are certain to start with gun overseas batters in Buttler and Hetmyer as they were incredible with the bat in the last season. Thus, Root might not make his IPL debut in the forthcoming season.
