Rajasthan Royals (RR) is a franchise cricket team based in Jaipur, India, and is one of the teams participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It played its first Twenty20 match in the first season of the IPL against the Delhi Daredevils.[1][2] It later topped the group stage in that season,[3] and won the final against the Chennai Super Kings to become the first winner of the IPL.[4] It also reached the playoffs in the 2013 IPL. The team's performance in the 2008 and the 2013 season resulted in its qualification for the 2008 and the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20),[5] however the 2008 edition was cancelled due to the 2008 Mumbai attacks.[6] The RR reached the finals in the 2013 CLT20, but lost the match to Mumbai Indians.[7] Seventy-three players have played for RR,[8] of whom Shane Watson has played the most matches.[9]
