Rajasthan Royals (RR) did a great job in mega auction on Tuesday, December 16, and the RR team is managing the situation in its typical calm and wise way. The management of RR will implement a very cautious plan since their goal is to recruit players who will be able to integrate nicely into the strong core of the team that has been built over the years.
The squad has kept the majority of its important players who have been instrumental in the recent seasons. As the auction nears, RR's plan is to bring in clever backups and to patch up little holes without creating any disturbance in their very good team balance.
