Role Of Rajasthan Royals In The Indian Premier League

Rajasthan Royals is a well-known cricket franchise in the Indian Premier League, and they made their debut in 2008. The cricket team was extremely low-profile and the least expensive among the eight franchises. However, they lifted the champions’ trophy in the first season under the captaincy of Shane Warne, but after that, they have not managed to win an IPL title for the second time since. As a result, fantasy game players prefer not to choose the specific players from the team.  

A cricket fantasy league mainly involves creating a winning team for yourself with players of your choice from the selection of 22 players playing the live match. It is the perfect opportunity for cricket fans to display their knowledge and skills regarding cricket. 

Rajasthan Royals team is top-rated for its hidden, high-potential talent and involvement in several controversies. It was banned for two years in 2015, along with another popular franchise, CSK, due to their participation in cricket betting, which is completely illegal in India. However, they returned in 2018 and participated in the biggest T20 league, IPL. 

Retained Players Of Rajasthan Royals In 2022:

All the team members looked uncontrolled throughout the season last year except for skipper Sanju Samson. They won just five matches out of fourteen and finished the tournament at number seven on the points table. According to the rules and regulations of IPL, ahead of the coming season, Rajasthan Royals had an option to retain four players. But the franchise included only three players. The retained players were Skipper Sanju Samson, English batsman Joe Butler, and uncapped 19-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal. This year Royals have a massive amount to select the players from the mega auction to make a balanced squad.

Best Players Of Rajasthan Royals:

1. Chris Morris

Morris is one of the outstanding all-rounders in the cricket world, and he made his debut in 2013 in the jersey of CSK. Rajasthan Royals bought him for a record sixteen crore INR in the auction in 2021. Though Morris made it to the taglines that time for many pursuits, he failed to impress the management thoroughly with his performance. 

2. Sanju Samson

Skipper Sanju Samson is the only player in the RR team who performed exceptionally well throughout the last IPL season, and he scored runs under challenging circumstances to impress all. He was on the top scorer’s list in 2021 as he scored 433 runs in just a few cricket contests. Moreover, Sanju made his debut for this franchise in 2012. He has continuously been a part of the RR team since then. The team management appointed Samson as the captain, but somehow he failed to show good captaincy. All the RR fans hope he will do better with his strategy in the coming days.

3. Mustafizur Rahman

The left-arm player did exceptionally well for Rajasthan Royals as he picked up fourteen wickets in just fourteen matches. RR team management released him ahead of the 2022 IPL season from the team, but there is a high probability that they might bid for him in the mega auction room for the next IPL season.

4. Chetan Sakariya

Sakariya impressed everyone last year with his brilliant performance. If a team can groom him perfectly, he will be an asset for any IPL team and his respective national team. He made his T20 league debut in 2021 and picked up fourteen wickets with a reasonable economy rate.  

The home ground of RR is Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. Rajasthan Cricket Association handles the stadium, which has a seating capacity of 30,000. In addition, we can see the RCA cricket academy, conference rooms, swimming pool, and restaurant in the stadium. Multiple owners manage the cricket franchise, including Amisha Hathiramani, Manoj Badale, and Lachlan Murdoch.
