Uncover the squad breakdown, key players, and strategies of Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans, and Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025 squad.. Explore their potential lineups and strengths.
Rajasthan Royals: A Bowling Overhaul
No. of Players: 20/25 (6 overseas)
The Rajasthan Royals opted for a strategic overhaul by retaining five batters and only one bowler, focusing their auctions on quality bowlers. Their marquee picks include Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana. While Archer and Hasaranga bring immense talent, their injury history remains a concern. Overseas backups Kwena Maphaka and Fazalhaq Farooqi are relatively low-profile, testing RR’s Indian bench strength.

Gujarat Titans: A Star-Studded Squad
No. of Players: 25/25 (7 overseas)
The Gujarat Titans assembled a strong lineup, acquiring three marquee players – Jos Buttler, Mohammed Siraj, and Kagiso Rabada – alongside Prasidh Krishna to bolster their pace attack. However, the team’s success hinges on their fitness, as the Indian fast-bowling backups are limited. The middle order lacks big names but banking on Washington Sundar’s all-around capabilities might prove effective.
