SaralnamaFive players Rajasthan Royals might release before the IPL 2026 auction was revealed on in Mumbai. RR finished ninth in IPL 2025 and are looking to rebuild their squad. Shimron Hetmyer could be released after a poor season. The West Indies batsman scored only 239 runs in 13 innings at an average of 21.72. RR retained him for ₹11 crore but he failed to justify his price tag. Hetmyer struggled to provide stability in the middle order and finish games. The team may look for a more reliable finisher to replace him. RR won their only IPL title in 2008 and hope to return stronger next year. (Updated 15 Oct 2025, 17:18 IST; source: link)
