Jason Holder, who cost the Rajasthan Royals Rs 5.75 crore, was the team's most expensive acquisition. Joe Root and Adam Zampa were also added to the side.

With only 13 crore in their bank account, Ben Stokes and Cameron Green were out of the question for Rajasthan Royals when Ben Stokes left. Instead, they had to look for a pace bowling all-rounder. At the Sawai Man Singh ground, where hitters gain a lot of value for their shots, they chose Jason Holder, who may be effective. His presence at the back end will give captain Sanju Samson and coach Kumar Sangakkara a lot of hope and the chance to power strike. Similar to that, his subtle slower ones will work well on Indian tunes. Holder's height only serves as a slight benefit when bowling, but when batting, he may contribute valuable runs for his team.

After a 14-year absence, they made it back to the IPL final in 2022, only to lose to the Gujarat Titans, a new team.
