 Rajasthan Royals in 2026 | ||
Rajasthan Royals (often abbreviated as RR) are a franchise cricket team based in Jaipur, Rajasthan. It plays in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Founded in 2008 as one of the initial eight IPL franchises, the team is based at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Royals are known to unearth obscure, high potential talent regularly, as well as for their involvement in a number of solved controversies and concluded scandals.
History
The team won the inaugural edition of the IPL under the captaincy of Shane Warne, despite being written off as a title contender by the media and fans. The Royals were also the runners-up of the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 under Rahul Dravid's captaincy.
On 14 July 2015, the verdict reached by a panel appointed by the Supreme Court of India suspended Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings's owner and team principal respectively for life and rested the two teams for two years over a solved 2013 betting scandal. This is that they did not participate in both the 2016 and 2017 IPL tournaments. They then returned to the competition for the 2018 IPL season and CSK won the trophy in that year victoriously. Later, RR lost the 2022 IPL season final after 14 years in an IPL final for the second time ever in IPL history now here.
Records
The team's record run-scorer is Ajinkya Rahane with 3098 runs, while the leading wicket-taker is Shane Watson, with 67.
