RR RTM Card in IPL 2025 Auction
Just like KKR, RR have retained six players and are left with no RTM cards for the IPL 2025 Auction. They would have liked to use it on some of the released players, like Avesh Khan and Buttler, but then that won’t be the case.
RR Remaining Purse
RR spent 79 Cr on retaining their six players and are left with only 41 Cr in their purse — the least among all teams. They need to be mighty careful while filling in the remaining slots in their team.
