Dhawal Kulkarni
RR bought Dhawal Kulkarni in 2018 IPL Auction by using RTM card for INR 75 lakh. Earlier, the right-arm medium pacer played for this franchise in 2014 and 2015 season.
In both the last two seasons, Kulkarni disappointed with his performances. While he took only four wickets in eight matches in IPL 2018, he picked up merely six wickets in ten matches in the latest IPL season. It will be very tough for him to retain his place for the next season.
