Bengaluru, February 12: Inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals made some interesting buys at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, and have assembled a good squad for the upcoming Indian Premier League season.

Royals retained skipper Sanju Samson, England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler and young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of thetwo-day auction held in Bengaluru on Saturday (February 12) and Sunday (February 13).

With a remaining purse of Rs 62 Crore heading into the bidding process, RR started the day with the double capture of couple of senior players - New Zealand pacer Trent Boult for Rs 8 Crore and Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for Rs 5 Crore.

However, the Royals kind of went off the path later. First, with the buy of India's Devdutt Padikkal, a left-handed opener, for Rs 7.75 Crore despite the presence of Jaiswal and Buttler in the opening.

And they also added West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer, who is also a left-handed batter for a huge sum of Rs 8.50 Crore. But, they made up for that with the buys of Indian duo - leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for Rs 6.50 Crore and pacer Prasidh Krishna, their biggest buy at the auction, for Rs 10 Crore.

The strategy overall was confusing as they bid a big amount to land their former player Riyan Parag for Rs 3.80 Crore. The Royals also bought Karnataka spinner K.C. Cariappa for Rs 30 Lakh to end day one of the auction on Saturday (February 12).

On day 2 of the auction, Royals only bought Indian pacer Navdeep Saini for Rs. 2.60 Crore before the lunch break. Post lunch on Sunday (February 13), Royals added several player to fill in their quota of the squad in the accelerated auction.

RR bought New Zealand all-rounders James Neesham for Rs. 1.50 Crore and Daryl Mitchell for Rs. 75 Lakh, while they also added Australia pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile Rs. 2 Crore, Indian batter Karun Nair for Rs. 1.40 Crore, South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen for Rs. 1 Crore and West Indies all-rounder Obed McCoy for Rs. 75 Lakh.

Royals completed their squad with the addition of 6 uncapped Indian players - Kuldeep Sen, Dhruv Jurel, Tejas Baroka, Kuldip Yadav, Shubham Garhwal and Anunay Singh - all for Rs. 20 Lakh each, taking their squad strength to 24.

In the end, they spent a total of Rs. 61.05 Crore at the IPL Mega Auction and were with a remaining purse of Rs. 95 Lakh, having used up Rs. 28 Crore of the total purse of Rs. 90 Crore for their three retentions.
