Rajasthan Royals were active in the trade window, signing players like Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran (albeit injured) along with the high-profile departure of Sanju Samson. The former captain has joined Chennai Super Kings, and if his T20 World Cup form is a reflection of how their season will go, Rajasthan Royals will need match-winners to compensate for that departure. Fortunately, their team certainly doesn't lack star names, players who can turn a game on their own.
Let's take a look at five players who can be match-winners for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026
5) Yashasvi Jaiswal
After Sanju Samson's departure, Yashasvi Jaiswal Became the senior batsman at the top for the Royals. With 559 runs at a strike rate of 159.71 at the top, Jaiswal proved his reliability with the bat despite an ordinary season last year. Now as a seasoned professional with international experience, he has to lead the way.
The Mumbai player is an exceptional strokemaker and is capable of bowling the ball at will with textbook cricket shots. Despite being a good starter in Tests, he has not been a contender for the Indian T20I team for some time now, but a good season could change his fortunes. And what better way to do that than winning some matches for Rajasthan Royals.
