Jaipur based franchisee of the Indian Premier League
Rajasthan Royals (often abbreviated as RR) are a franchise cricket team based in Jaipur , Rajasthan , that plays in the Indian Premier League (IPL).[ 1] Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
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.[ 2] [ 3]
On 14 July 2015, the verdict reached by a panel appointed by the Supreme Court of India suspended Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings for two years over a 2013 betting scandal , meaning they could not participate in both the 2016 and 2017 IPL tournaments. They returned to the competition from the 2018 season .
In general the top five are listed in each category, except when there is a tie for the last place among the five, when all the tied record holders may be noted.
