There is not much time left for the start of IPL 2026 and all the teams are busy finalizing their strategies for this season starting from March 28. This time a big change has been seen in the team of Rajasthan Royals, where Sanju Samson, who captained the team for a long time, has gone to Chennai Super Kings under a trade deal and in his place young batsman Ryan Parag has been given the captaincy.

Meanwhile, former Rajasthan Royals player and veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has selected the probable playing eleven of Rajasthan Royals on his YouTube channel. Ashwin has included only three foreign players in his team. According to Ashwin, the biggest advantage of fielding a playing eleven with three foreign players is that Rajasthan Royals will have the option to include an additional foreign player as an impact sub. The team can field bowlers like Nandre Berger or Adam Milne to strengthen the bowling as per the need. At the same time, if early wickets fall early, then a batsman like Luan-Dre Pretorius can also be included as an impact player to handle the batting.
