Elite Players: Sunil Kumar, Arjun Deshwal, V Ajith Kumar, Reza Mirbagheri, Bhavani Rajput and Sahul Kumar have all received the nod as Jaipur's key Elite players.
Retained Young players: They haven't kept any player in this list.
Existing young players: Abhishek KS, Ashish, Ankush Rathee and Devank.
New Young Players: Abhimanyu Raghuvanshi and Abhijeet Malik
The Abhishek Bachan owned team did the first job of player retention very well by keeping most of their core players who played a huge role in winning the Season 9 title last December.
Jaipur head coach Sanjeev Baliyan and his management retained 8 players and they are mostly in need of efficient and reliable backups.
They will also have the lowest purse when they sit at the Auction table on 9th & 10th October at Mumbai. Therefore, Jaipur must tread with caution. They cannot afford to buy overpriced players or spend more than required as they have most of their bases covered.
Main Raider Arjun Deshwal scored the most raid points: 296, their defensive line consisting of players like Ankush Rathee (1), Sunil Kumar (4) and Sahul Kumar (9) finished among Top 10 defenders last term.
They need to fill 10 players to make up their 18-man squad but before that let's take a look at the composition of their Player retention. And if we talk about Ankush Rathee, then he was nothing short of exceptional last year. He scored the Most tackle points (89) and the most High 5's (9).
