Rajasthan Royals (RR) have a special place in Indian Premier League (IPL) history as they were the inaugural champions after overcoming Chennai Super Kings in the 2008 final. However, after achieving the remarkable feat, the Royals have had plenty of struggles in the IPL. They received a two-year in 2015 and made it to the final only once - in the 2022 season. Under Sanju Samson’s captaincy, the franchise hopes to end their long wait for another IPL trophy.
