Rajasthan Royals (RR) stunned everyone way back in 2008, the inaugural season of Indian Premier League (IPL), when they lifted the trophy. Royals was the least active side in the IPL auctions this year, and thus the core of the team remains same from last year. The Royals will be lead by Australia’s swashbuckling batsman Shane Watson who was pivotal in his country’s triumphant World Cup campaign. Watto will be supported by Ajinkya Rahane at the top-order who has been a consistent performer with the bat for Royals over the years now.

The team also added South African bowler Juan Theron alongside Pradeep Sahu and Sagar Trivedi to boost their squad. Its time to check out who is going to play for RR this season and match fixtures details etc etc.
