The announcement made yesterday comes ahead of the Indian Premier League 2025 auction.
The franchise also retained Sanju Samson, who has led the team for the past four seasons, along with renewals for breakout top-order batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer and medium pacer Sandeep Sharma, according to a press release.
Riyan Parag had a stellar IPL 2024 season for the Royals before making his white-ball debut for India earlier this year. The hard-hitting all-rounder has represented the Royals across six seasons, appearing in 70 IPL matches so far. The 22-year-old was last picked up in the IPL 2022 auction by the Royals for ₹3.8 crore and has since become one of the hottest prospects in Indian cricket.
"The last few seasons have truly been remarkable for our franchise. We have been able to deliver some special moments for our fans and were able to create an environment in the dressing room where some of our young talent has been groomed to be the next generation of superstars for Indian cricket," said Sanju Samson.
" Ideally, I would do anything to continue this journey with exactly the same team as we had in this last cycle but, unfortunately, the rules will not permit this. Hence, with great sadness in my heart, we will have to part ways with some of them who have brought incredible success to the franchise and great joy to our fans. Naturally, the fans and all of us continue to hope we are able to buy some, if not all, of them back at the auction," the Royals skipper said.
