The Royals made a big splash by spending ₹12.50 crore on England pacer Jofra Archer. His raw pace is a major asset, but concerns about his recent fitness issues linger. The team surprised fans by releasing both Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin. To fill the void, they brought in Sri Lankan spinners Maheesh Theekshana (₹4.40 crore) and Wanindu Hasaranga (₹5.25 crore).

The franchise also chose not to retain Kiwi pacer Trent Boult. Instead, they signed two left-arm seamers—Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqi for ₹2 crore and South Africa's Kwena Maphaka for ₹1.50 crore. RR also showed determination by acquiring Nitish Rana for ₹4.20 crore and Tushar Deshpande for ₹6.50 crore.

However, the biggest talking point was their signing of Vaibhav Suryavanshi for ₹1.10 crore. At just 13 years old, he became the youngest player ever selected in an IPL auction. The team also valued Akash Madhwal highly, securing him for ₹1.20 crore, showcasing their belief in the former Mumbai Indians player.
