Rating the IPL teams based on their player-releases ahead of IPL 2020 Auction
Some franchises did better than the others.
5. Rajasthan Royals (RR) – 8/10
There’s been a lot of revamping in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side. Former captain Ajinkya Rahane is no longer a part of this side given they have a few other good top-order options. That will surely help clear the ambiguity around a few batting positions but still, there is a huge hole created over there. Rahane will be representing the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020.
The trades that they have done – Mayank Markande, Rahul Tewatia and Ankit Rajpoot – aren’t really the best and surely not the kind of options they’ve been looking for. Also, the Royals could have been a little more patient with Liam Livingstone and they should have given him a long run in the middle order.
Other than these two releases, the franchise has done well. Jaydev Unadkat might get another opportunity if he comes at a cheaper price but the chances are very bleak. Clearly, the team has run out of patience with the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Ish Sodhi and Ashton Turner.
