Rajasthan Royals (RR) have one of the best cores of Indian batters in their ranks. These include the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel and newly appointed full-time skipper Riyan Parag. The quality of their Indian batting will make sure that the side does not miss Sanju Samson, who has been traded to Chennai Super Kings ahead of the upcoming season.

When a team has such a good Indian core, the role of its overseas players becomes even more important. These international stars have to complement their Indian counterparts, something RR’s contingents are very much capable of doing. From hard-hitting batters to fast and attacking bowlers, RR fans have a lot of look forward to during the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

Sam Curran has made the long journey from Chennai to Rajasthan along with Ravindra Jadeja in a deal which saw Samson go in the other direction. The England all-rounder has been in some very good T20 form off late. He has become a mainstay of the English team. He has found a nice role, batting at six and bowling in the middle overs. His medium pace could be very beneficial for RR in 2026.

The English cricketer is also in great form as far as franchise cricket is concerned. The left-hander captained the Desert Vipers to their maiden ILT20 title in late 2025, where he was named Player of the Series for his all-round contribution, scoring the most runs in the tournament (397) and taking seven wickets.
