Rajasthan Royals Team 2016
Rajasthan Royals is the same team which was considered as the weakest team of the first edition of IPL but they emerged as victorious. Rajasthan Royals won the first ever edition of IPL thanks to some brilliant captaincy by legendary Shane Warne. The team is co-owned by Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Ltd, Manoj Badale, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra.
Although, the team did won the first IPL, but after that it is still trying to search for their lost form. Apart from first IPL, Rajasthan Royals never reached the semifinals of any of the IPL season. However, they were the runner up of Cricket League Twenty 20 2013. The best thing about Rajasthan Royals is that they always try to nurture hidden talent. They always pick uncapped players and they have a tradition of unearthing amazing talent. The team is nicknamed as Moneyball team of IPL due to their emphasis on buying players at cut-throat prices.
The team is captained by Shane Watson who is also the leading run scorer of the team and it is coached by Paddy Upton. Rahul Dravid is playing the role of chief mentor for the team. Rajasthan Royals have two home ground where Sawai Mansigh Stadium is their primary home ground and Sardar Patel Stadium is their secondary home ground.
