RAJASTHAN ROYALS:

Rajasthan Royals are preparing to take inspiration from their title-winning season (2008) and find a way to squeeze in another impressive performance. A franchise that often flies under the radar, Rajasthan have managed to make it to the playoffs only three times since their 2008 triumph (2013, 2015 and 2018).

New addition :

At the last auction, they got hold of the up-and-coming Yashasvi Jaiswal, the seasoned Robin Uthappa, and South African hard-hitter David Miller to strengthen their batting. Among bowlers, Andrew Tye, Oshane Thomas, Tom Curran and young Kartik Tyagi were important buys.
