==Team history==
===2008 IPL season===
Before the start of the [[2008 Indian Premier League|inaugural IPL season]], many considered the Royals as possibly the weakest team in the IPL, giving them little chance of competing well in the tournament.<ref name="IPL preview"/> Evidence of the latter opinion seemed to be confirmed when the team lost its first match against the [[Delhi Daredevils]] in a 9 wicket loss.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335984.html|title=Match 3|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=19 April 2008|access-date=27 May 2008}}</ref> The fears were confirmed that the team was likely to struggle.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketdawn.com/ipl-2012/ipl-2012-teams/rajasthan-royals.html|title=Rajasthan Royals|website=Cricketdawn.com|date=12 April 2012|access-date=24 April 2012}}</ref>
In their first home game ever at [[Sawai Mansingh Stadium]] in Jaipur, they played against the [[Kings XI Punjab]] and won by 6 wickets as Shane Watson was declared the man of the match for his unbeaten 76 off 49 balls in what was a successful run chase. That was followed by a crucial 3 wicket win against the season favourite, [[Deccan Chargers]], in Hyderabad. The victory proved to be a huge morale booster. [[Yusuf Pathan]] won the first man of the match award for his bowling figures of 2/20 in 4 overs and a 28-ball 61.
The next game against the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] was won by 45 runs where [[Swapnil Asnodkar]] received his first man of the match award for a fine knock of 60 off just 34 balls.
They further managed to defeat the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in Jaipur but lost to [[Mumbai Indians]] in Navi Mumbai. The Royals continued to win the next five games in a row. They were the first team to book a place in the semi-finals with their 65 run win over the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] and were pitted against Chennai Super Kings for the finals. The Royals won by 3 wickets in the final played on 1 June 2008.
The all-rounder [[Shane Watson]] won the man of the tournament award for scoring as many as 472 runs and picking 17 wickets.
[[Shane Warne]]'s captaincy and coaching were praised and well received by everyone,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/351819.html|title=Warne wants to keep winning|date=4 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/349936.html|title=The magic of Shane|date=21 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref> including opposition teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/350975.html|title=Not over till the fat laddie leads|date=15 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref><ref name="Cricinfo">{{cite web|url=http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/353226.html|title=Rajasthan champions after cliffhanger|date=June 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2 June 2008}}</ref>
Each player and representative in the team was awarded a medal. The team was presented with the DLF Indian Premier League trophy along with a cheque for US$1.2 million prize money. Many of the Royals players also took home individual awards for their performance during the tournament; [[Yusuf Pathan]] claimed the [[Man of the Match]] award for the final match, [[Sohail Tanvir]] finished the tournament in possession of the Purple Cap (the IPL's leading wicket-taker), and Australian all-rounder [[Shane Watson]] was declared the [[Player of the match|Man of the Series]].
===2009 IPL season===
The Royals were the defending champions. [[Sohail Tanvir]] was ineligible to play for the team as PCB failed to provide NOC for Pakistani players playing in the competition. [[Shane Watson]] was unavailable for the whole season as [[Australian cricket team against Pakistan in the UAE in 2009|Australia toured to UAE for the ODI series against Pakistan]]. Without these two, the team looked slightly weaker than the previous season and players such as [[Graeme Smith]], [[Shaun Tait]], and [[Shane Warne]] had to be relied on.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketdawn.com/ipl-2012/ipl-2012-teams/rajasthan-royals.html|title=Rajasthan Royals|first1=prakash nagar|last1=April 29|first2=2013 at 9:21|last2=Am|date=24 February 2012|access-date=21 April 2019}}</ref>
The defending champions got off to the worst possible start by losing their opening match by 75 runs to [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in a match which saw The Royals record what was at the time the lowest total (58 all out) in the history of the IPL and to date is still the second lowest.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Indian Premier League Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/team/lowest_innings_totals.html?id=117&type=trophy|access-date=15 March 2021|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of RCB vs Royals 2nd match 2009 - Score Report|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2009-374163/royal-challengers-bangalore-vs-rajasthan-royals-2nd-match-392182/full-scorecard|access-date=15 March 2021|work=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref> The same match also saw the Royals pick-up the unwanted record of the lowest ever powerplay total (14/2) in the IPL.<ref>{{Cite web|date=11 March 2021|title=The 10 lowest powerplay scores in IPL history|url=https://t20-head-to-head.com/the-lowest-powerplay-scores-in-ipl-history/|access-date=15 March 2021|website=T20 Head to Head|language=en-GB}}</ref> They remained defeated by Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab, and Chennai Super Kings but they won over Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers.

Rajasthan Royals ended 6th out of the 8 teams in the competition, winning 6 matches out of the 14 they played. The Royals failed to make it to the semi-finals after losing their last two matches against Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders.<ref name="auto" />
===British Asian Cup===
On 14 May 2009, it was announced that Rajasthan Royals would meet [[Middlesex Crusaders]] in a one-off [[Twenty20]] for the [[British Asian Cup]]. It was the first time that an annual charity series was to be played between the Twenty20 champions of the two countries. The match took place on 6 July 2009. The teams were announced on 3 July 2009 with Rajasthan Royals including [[Mohammad Kaif]] and the comeback of [[Sohail Tanvir]].
The match was won by Rajasthan Royals by 46 runs after scoring 162/5 in 20 overs and successfully defending it by 46 runs (Middlesex 116/7). The Man of the Match was [[Dimitri Mascarenhas]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/engine/match/404477.html?innings=1;view=commentary |title=Middlesex v Rajasthan Royals |date=6 July 2009 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=6 July 2009 }}</ref>
===2010 IPL season===
The Royals were back in India after their average outing in South Africa. This time they seemed to be a better outfit as they were to play in conditions that should have suited them the most. But they had to suffer an unfortunate start to the competition, with a narrow 4 run defeat to the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The highlight of this match though, was Yusuf Pathan hitting the fastest ever hundred in IPL history, off only 37 balls. Even some of the Mumbai fans were disappointed not to see Rajasthan win, by the end of it all.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals"/><ref>{{Cite web|title=RCB beat RR by 5 wickets on this day in 2010.|url=https://www.royalchallengers.com/rcb-cricket-news/news/on-this-day-in-2010-kevin-pietersen-and-rcb-bowlers-crush-rr|access-date=6 August 2020|website=www.royalchallengers.com|language=en}}</ref>
They went on to lose to the Delhi Daredevils by 6 wickets in one of their new ‘home’ grounds, Ahmedabad. And were again bruised badly by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who won by 10 wickets. The team remained inconsistent throughout the whole season, winning their next four matches consecutively. One of the young Turks of the erstwhile ICL, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala impressed against the franchise representing his home state, Kolkata Knight Riders as his 36-ball 45 helped the Royals win by 34 runs.
Followed by which the Western Australian batsman Adam Voges hit 45 runs off 24 balls to help Rajasthan beat Punjab in Mohali by 31 runs. The team seemed to have adapted to the Ahmedabad conditions better with wins against Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets as Yusuf Pathan continued his good form against the team, while they beat Chennai Super Kings by 17 runs, thanks to wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha's 49-ball 80.
But they lost against Chennai in their return clash as Murali Vijay's hundred took the game away from them as well as were crushed in Delhi by 67 runs. But they managed to escape a Deccan Chargers attack, with a narrow 2 run victory in Nagpur and continued their unbeaten run in Jaipur though, as the out of sorts Kings XI Punjab were duly beaten by 9 wickets with English opener Michael Lumb winning the man of the match award for his 43-ball 83.
Once again, Rajasthan Royals ended the tournament miserably with losses to Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at home and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last round-robin game in Kolkata. Consequently, they failed to make it to the playoffs for the second consecutive season as they finished 7th out of the 8 teams in the competition, winning 6 games out of 14 played.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals"/>
===2011 IPL season===
The Rajasthan Royals, and the [[Kings XI Punjab]] were temporarily ejected from the league due to issues with their unreported ownership changes. The teams were reinstated with involvement from the High Court.<ref>{{cite news |date=18 December 2010 |title=IPL 2011 likely to have ten teams |work=ESPNcricinfo |publisher=ESPN |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2011-news-ipl-2011-likely-to-have-ten-teams-493298 |access-date=21 December 2010}}</ref> Their owners were broken into several legal entities when the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] required the incorporation of the companies.<ref name=scrap>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/479343.html |title=IPL auction set for 'mid-to-end November' |date=30 September 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=1 October 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101003072326/http://www.cricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/479343.html| archive-date= 3 October 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/480748.html |title=IPL terminates Punjab, Rajasthan franchises |date=10 October 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=10 October 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101013054423/http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/480748.html| archive-date= 13 October 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> Kochi was also at risk of ejection for the same reasons before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/490510.html |title=Kochi franchise cleared to play in the IPL |date=5 December 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=5 December 2010 }}</ref>
The team management decided to retain the Australian duo of Shane Warne and Shane Watson for the following three seasons of the IPL, although Warne's future continued to be uncertain. Yet, he decided to make this his final season for the Rajasthan Royals on the insistence of the team owners who felt that he was the ultimate source of inspiration for the team on and off the field.
In the auction, the team's funds were reduced since they were penalised by the BCCI in 2010 and as a result, had to pay a certain amount of bank guarantee as fixed by the High Court. But they possessed an adequate amount of money to buy some of the world's finest T20 players, which they did not exactly.
They managed to buy back Australian fast bowler [[Shaun Tait]] for US$300,000 as well as South African bowling all-rounder Johan Botha for US$950,000. The other star players which they picked were New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor for US$1 million as well as ‘The Wall’ [[Rahul Dravid]] for half that price. England's World T20 2010 winning skipper [[Paul Collingwood]] was also purchased for a mere US$250,000. The other players were mostly from the domestic circuits but were confident individuals following Rajasthan winning the [[Ranji Trophy]] that year.
Rajasthan Royals began the IPL 2011 in grand fashion, beating the Kumar Sangakkara-led Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets, with the young Indian pacer Siddharth Trivedi adjudged the man of the match for his spell of 3/15 and the Royals continued their fine record against the Chargers. While Shane Warne defied age with a fine piece of bowling to assist Rajasthan in defeating a weakened Delhi Daredevils side by 6 wickets, with figures of 2/17.
However, their confidence was dented with two back-to-back defeats to the new-look Kolkata Knight Riders in three days. In the clash at Jaipur, they lost by 9 wickets, due to a 100-run partnership between Gautam Gambhir and Jacques Kallis, Whereas, in Kolkata, Lakshmipathy Balaji picked 3/15 in 4 overs on a minefield pitch in Eden Gardens to help his team pull off an 8 wicket victory.
The match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bangalore was washed out due to rain, which made Rajasthan's task of making it into the last four much tougher. Shaun Marsh was in great nick and his 42-ball 71 resulted in the Royals losing to Kings XI Punjab in Mohali by 48 runs. However, they pulled together a string of a hat-trick of home wins, as Rajasthan chased successfully in all the three matches. The first was against the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, winning by 8 wickets. Followed by Mumbai Indians, the No. 1 team then on the points table as they chased down a total of 100 with 7 wickets to spare. And then the Pune Warriors India were undone by Ross Taylors’ 35-ball 47 not out, as Rajasthan won by 6 wickets.
But again it was inconsistency which let the Royals down badly. They were given a proper thumping by the eventual champions Chennai Super Kings in both the matches they played against each other, within five days. The in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed them by 9 wickets, while they were bowled out for 97 in their 8-wicket defeat to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
Although this time they ended their round-robin matches well with a win against the Mumbai Indians in Mumbai and in the process, giving Shane Warne a fitting farewell, Rajasthan were dismissed from the competition since they ended at the 6th position out of the 10 teams in the tournament, having again won 6 out of their 14 matches played, with one being a no result.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals" />

=== Rivalry with Punjab Kings ===
The rivalry between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings is a long-standing one. Known as the Northern Derby, it is often a high-scoring encounter. In 25 matches, the Royals have come out on top 14 times; the Kings have won 11.<ref>{{cite web |title=Blast from the past: KXIP’s top performances against Rajasthan Royals |url=https://www.punjabkingsipl.in/features/kxip-rr-rahul-marsh-patel |work=Punjab Kings |date=28 April 2020 |access-date=12 April 2024}}</ref>

==Notable players==
{{main|List of Rajasthan Royals cricketers}}
Traditionally, the Rajasthan Royals usually purchase cricketers who are relatively unknown or uncapped, that is, not played for their nation, at cut-throat prices. The Royals are famous for their frugal spending in the IPL auctions, even during the mega-auctions held once in 3 years. They have even bought players who had previously never played first-class cricket such as [[Dinesh Salunkhe]] and [[Pravin Tambe]]. The team has also purchased leading world cricketers such as [[Shane Warne]], [[Rahul Dravid]], [[Shane Watson]], [[Jos Buttler]] and [[Ravichandran Ashwin]].
Many of the cricketers who have played for the Royals, having been bought by them as relatively unknown players, have ended up as leading international cricketers partly due to their strong performances in the IPL and backing from the Royals management. In the initial seasons, such players included [[Taruwar Kohli]], who was acquired by the franchise in 2008 under the Under-19 player quota and [[Yusuf Pathan]], the elder brother of the Indian all-rounder [[Irfan Pathan]] and a relative unknown in cricketing circles unlike his more-celebrated younger brother. Yusuf's brilliant performances in the initial seasons of the IPL earned him a place in the Indian cricket team and he was a [[India at the Cricket World Cup#India at the 2011 World Cup|member of the Indian squad which won the 2011 Cricket World Cup]]. Even Australian [[Shane Watson]], who has played for the Royals ever since its inception, became a permanent, consistent and leading member of the [[Australia national cricket team|Australian cricket team]] soon after his brilliant first season with the Royals in 2008.

=== Expulsion from the IPL and return ===
In 2010, the BCCI decided to expel [[Kings XI Punjab]] and Rajasthan Royals from the IPL.<ref>{{cite news |title=IPL terminates Punjab, Rajasthan franchises |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-news-ipl-terminates-punjab-rajasthan-franchises-480748 |access-date=9 April 2021 |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=10 October 2010 |language=en}}</ref> The expulsion baffled captain [[Shane Warne]] who stated that he suspected that there might be some foul play and that the BCCI might possess some ulterior motives.<ref>[https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-news-shane-warne-questions-move-to-axe-rajasthan-royals-482843 IPL news: Shane Warne questions move to ax Rajasthan Royals | Cricket News | Rajasthan Royals | ESPNcricinfo].

==Team history==
===2008 IPL season===
Before the start of the [[2008 Indian Premier League|inaugural IPL season]], many considered the Royals as possibly the weakest team in the IPL, giving them little chance of competing well in the tournament.<ref name="IPL preview"/> Evidence of the latter opinion seemed to be confirmed when the team lost its first match against the [[Delhi Daredevils]] in a 9 wicket loss.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335984.html|title=Match 3|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=19 April 2008|access-date=27 May 2008}}</ref> The fears were confirmed that the team was likely to struggle.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketdawn.com/ipl-2012/ipl-2012-teams/rajasthan-royals.html|title=Rajasthan Royals|website=Cricketdawn.com|date=12 April 2012|access-date=24 April 2012}}</ref>
In their first home game ever at [[Sawai Mansingh Stadium]] in Jaipur, they played against the [[Kings XI Punjab]] and won by 6 wickets as Shane Watson was declared the man of the match for his unbeaten 76 off 49 balls in what was a successful run chase. That was followed by a crucial 3 wicket win against the season favourite, [[Deccan Chargers]], in Hyderabad. The victory proved to be a huge morale booster. [[Yusuf Pathan]] won the first man of the match award for his bowling figures of 2/20 in 4 overs and a 28-ball 61.
The next game against the [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] was won by 45 runs where [[Swapnil Asnodkar]] received his first man of the match award for a fine knock of 60 off just 34 balls.
They further managed to defeat the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in Jaipur but lost to [[Mumbai Indians]] in Navi Mumbai. The Royals continued to win the next five games in a row. They were the first team to book a place in the semi-finals with their 65 run win over the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] and were pitted against Chennai Super Kings for the finals. The Royals won by 3 wickets in the final played on 1 June 2008.
The all-rounder [[Shane Watson]] won the man of the tournament award for scoring as many as 472 runs and picking 17 wickets.
[[Shane Warne]]'s captaincy and coaching were praised and well received by everyone,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/351819.html|title=Warne wants to keep winning|date=4 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/349936.html|title=The magic of Shane|date=21 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref> including opposition teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/350975.html|title=Not over till the fat laddie leads|date=15 May 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=26 May 2008}}</ref><ref name="Cricinfo">{{cite web|url=http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/353226.html|title=Rajasthan champions after cliffhanger|date=June 2008|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2 June 2008}}</ref>
Each player and representative in the team was awarded a medal. The team was presented with the DLF Indian Premier League trophy along with a cheque for US$1.2 million prize money. Many of the Royals players also took home individual awards for their performance during the tournament; [[Yusuf Pathan]] claimed the [[Man of the Match]] award for the final match, [[Sohail Tanvir]] finished the tournament in possession of the Purple Cap (the IPL's leading wicket-taker), and Australian all-rounder [[Shane Watson]] was declared the [[Player of the match|Man of the Series]].
===2009 IPL season===
The Royals were the defending champions. [[Sohail Tanvir]] was ineligible to play for the team as PCB failed to provide NOC for Pakistani players playing in the competition. [[Shane Watson]] was unavailable for the whole season as [[Australian cricket team against Pakistan in the UAE in 2009|Australia toured to UAE for the ODI series against Pakistan]]. Without these two, the team looked slightly weaker than the previous season and players such as [[Graeme Smith]], [[Shaun Tait]], and [[Shane Warne]] had to be relied on.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketdawn.com/ipl-2012/ipl-2012-teams/rajasthan-royals.html|title=Rajasthan Royals|first1=prakash nagar|last1=April 29|first2=2013 at 9:21|last2=Am|date=24 February 2012|access-date=21 April 2019}}</ref>
The defending champions got off to the worst possible start by losing their opening match by 75 runs to [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in a match which saw The Royals record what was at the time the lowest total (58 all out) in the history of the IPL and to date is still the second lowest.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Indian Premier League Cricket Team Records & Stats {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/team/lowest_innings_totals.html?id=117&type=trophy|access-date=15 March 2021|work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of RCB vs Royals 2nd match 2009 - Score Report|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2009-374163/royal-challengers-bangalore-vs-rajasthan-royals-2nd-match-392182/full-scorecard|access-date=15 March 2021|work=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref> The same match also saw the Royals pick-up the unwanted record of the lowest ever powerplay total (14/2) in the IPL.<ref>{{Cite web|date=11 March 2021|title=The 10 lowest powerplay scores in IPL history|url=https://t20-head-to-head.com/the-lowest-powerplay-scores-in-ipl-history/|access-date=15 March 2021|website=T20 Head to Head|language=en-GB}}</ref> They remained defeated by Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Kings XI Punjab, and Chennai Super Kings but they won over Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers.

Rajasthan Royals ended 6th out of the 8 teams in the competition, winning 6 matches out of the 14 they played. The Royals failed to make it to the semi-finals after losing their last two matches against Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders.<ref name="auto" />
===British Asian Cup===
On 14 May 2009, it was announced that Rajasthan Royals would meet [[Middlesex Crusaders]] in a one-off [[Twenty20]] for the [[British Asian Cup]]. It was the first time that an annual charity series was to be played between the Twenty20 champions of the two countries. The match took place on 6 July 2009. The teams were announced on 3 July 2009 with Rajasthan Royals including [[Mohammad Kaif]] and the comeback of [[Sohail Tanvir]].
The match was won by Rajasthan Royals by 46 runs after scoring 162/5 in 20 overs and successfully defending it by 46 runs (Middlesex 116/7). The Man of the Match was [[Dimitri Mascarenhas]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/engine/match/404477.html?innings=1;view=commentary |title=Middlesex v Rajasthan Royals |date=6 July 2009 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=6 July 2009 }}</ref>
===2010 IPL season===
The Royals were back in India after their average outing in South Africa. This time they seemed to be a better outfit as they were to play in conditions that should have suited them the most. But they had to suffer an unfortunate start to the competition, with a narrow 4 run defeat to the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The highlight of this match though, was Yusuf Pathan hitting the fastest ever hundred in IPL history, off only 37 balls. Even some of the Mumbai fans were disappointed not to see Rajasthan win, by the end of it all.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals"/><ref>{{Cite web|title=RCB beat RR by 5 wickets on this day in 2010.|url=https://www.royalchallengers.com/rcb-cricket-news/news/on-this-day-in-2010-kevin-pietersen-and-rcb-bowlers-crush-rr|access-date=6 August 2020|website=www.royalchallengers.com|language=en}}</ref>
They went on to lose to the Delhi Daredevils by 6 wickets in one of their new ‘home’ grounds, Ahmedabad. And were again bruised badly by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who won by 10 wickets. The team remained inconsistent throughout the whole season, winning their next four matches consecutively. One of the young Turks of the erstwhile ICL, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala impressed against the franchise representing his home state, Kolkata Knight Riders as his 36-ball 45 helped the Royals win by 34 runs.
Followed by which the Western Australian batsman Adam Voges hit 45 runs off 24 balls to help Rajasthan beat Punjab in Mohali by 31 runs. The team seemed to have adapted to the Ahmedabad conditions better with wins against Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets as Yusuf Pathan continued his good form against the team, while they beat Chennai Super Kings by 17 runs, thanks to wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha's 49-ball 80.
But they lost against Chennai in their return clash as Murali Vijay's hundred took the game away from them as well as were crushed in Delhi by 67 runs. But they managed to escape a Deccan Chargers attack, with a narrow 2 run victory in Nagpur and continued their unbeaten run in Jaipur though, as the out of sorts Kings XI Punjab were duly beaten by 9 wickets with English opener Michael Lumb winning the man of the match award for his 43-ball 83.
Once again, Rajasthan Royals ended the tournament miserably with losses to Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at home and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last round-robin game in Kolkata. Consequently, they failed to make it to the playoffs for the second consecutive season as they finished 7th out of the 8 teams in the competition, winning 6 games out of 14 played.<ref name="Rajasthan Royals"/>
===2011 IPL season===
The Rajasthan Royals, and the [[Kings XI Punjab]] were temporarily ejected from the league due to issues with their unreported ownership changes. The teams were reinstated with involvement from the High Court.<ref>{{cite news |date=18 December 2010 |title=IPL 2011 likely to have ten teams |work=ESPNcricinfo |publisher=ESPN |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2011-news-ipl-2011-likely-to-have-ten-teams-493298 |access-date=21 December 2010}}</ref> Their owners were broken into several legal entities when the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] required the incorporation of the companies.<ref name=scrap>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/479343.html |title=IPL auction set for 'mid-to-end November' |date=30 September 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=1 October 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101003072326/http://www.cricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/479343.html| archive-date= 3 October 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/480748.html |title=IPL terminates Punjab, Rajasthan franchises |date=10 October 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=10 October 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101013054423/http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/480748.html| archive-date= 13 October 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> Kochi was also at risk of ejection for the same reasons before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/story/490510.html |title=Kochi franchise cleared to play in the IPL |date=5 December 2010 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=5 December 2010 }}</ref>
The team management decided to retain the Australian duo of Shane Warne and Shane Watson for the following three seasons of the IPL, although Warne's future continued to be uncertain. Yet, he decided to make this his final season for the Rajasthan Royals on the insistence of the team owners who felt that he was the ultimate source of inspiration for the team on and off the field.
In the auction, the team's funds were reduced since they were penalised by the BCCI in 2010 and as a result, had to pay a certain amount of bank guarantee as fixed by the High Court. But they possessed an adequate amount of money to buy some of the world's finest T20 players, which they did not exactly.
They managed to buy back Australian fast bowler [[Shaun Tait]] for US$300,000 as well as South African bowling all-rounder Johan Botha for US$950,000. The other star players which they picked were New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor for US$1 million as well as ‘The Wall’ [[Rahul Dravid]] for half that price. England's World T20 2010 winning skipper [[Paul Collingwood]] was also purchased for a mere US$250,000. The other players were mostly from the domestic circuits but were confident individuals following Rajasthan winning the [[Ranji Trophy]] that year.
Rajasthan Royals began the IPL 2011 in grand fashion, beating the Kumar Sangakkara-led Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets, with the young Indian pacer Siddharth Trivedi adjudged the man of the match for his spell of 3/15 and the Royals continued their fine record against the Chargers. While Shane Warne defied age with a fine piece of bowling to assist Rajasthan in defeating a weakened Delhi Daredevils side by 6 wickets, with figures of 2/17.
However, their confidence was dented with two back-to-back defeats to the new-look Kolkata Knight Riders in three days. In the clash at Jaipur, they lost by 9 wickets, due to a 100-run partnership between Gautam Gambhir and Jacques Kallis, Whereas, in Kolkata, Lakshmipathy Balaji picked 3/15 in 4 overs on a minefield pitch in Eden Gardens to help his team pull off an 8 wicket victory.
The match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bangalore was washed out due to rain, which made Rajasthan's task of making it into the last four much tougher. Shaun Marsh was in great nick and his 42-ball 71 resulted in the Royals losing to Kings XI Punjab in Mohali by 48 runs. However, they pulled together a string of a hat-trick of home wins, as Rajasthan chased successfully in all the three matches. The first was against the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, winning by 8 wickets. Followed by Mumbai Indians, the No. 1 team then on the points table as they chased down a total of 100 with 7 wickets to spare. And then the Pune Warriors India were undone by Ross Taylors’ 35-ball 47 not out, as Rajasthan won by 6 wickets.
But again it was inconsistency which let the Royals down badly. They were given a proper thumping by the eventual champions Chennai Super Kings in both the matches they played against each other, within five days. The in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed them by 9 wickets, while they were bowled out for 97 in their 8-wicket defeat to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.

=== Rivalry with Punjab Kings ===

==Notable players==
{{main|List of Rajasthan Royals cricketers}}
Traditionally, the Rajasthan Royals usually purchase cricketers who are relatively unknown or uncapped, that is, not played for their nation, at cut-throat prices. The Royals are famous for their frugal spending in the IPL auctions, even during the mega-auctions held once in 3 years. They have even bought players who had previously never played first-class cricket such as [[Dinesh Salunkhe]] and [[Pravin Tambe]]. The team has also purchased leading world cricketers such as [[Shane Warne]], [[Rahul Dravid]], [[Shane Watson]], [[Jos Buttler]] and [[Ravichandran Ashwin]].
Many of the cricketers who have played for the Royals, having been bought by them as relatively unknown players, have ended up as leading international cricketers partly due to their strong performances in the IPL and backing from the Royals management. In the initial seasons, such players included [[Taruwar Kohli]], who was acquired by the franchise in 2008 under the Under-19 player quota and [[Yusuf Pathan]], the elder brother of the Indian all-rounder [[Irfan Pathan]] and a relative unknown in cricketing circles unlike his more-celebrated younger brother. Yusuf's brilliant performances in the initial seasons of the IPL earned him a place in the Indian cricket team and he was a [[India at the Cricket World Cup#India at the 2011 World Cup|member of the Indian squad which won the 2011 Cricket World Cup]]. Even Australian [[Shane Watson]], who has played for the Royals ever since its inception, became a permanent, consistent and leading member of the [[Australia national cricket team|Australian cricket team]] soon after his brilliant first season with the Royals in 2008. In the later seasons, these players have included Indian cricketers such as [[Ajinkya Rahane]], wicket-keeper-batsman [[Sanju Samson]], leg-spinner Tambe, whose performances for the Royals earned him a [[Ranji Trophy]] debut for [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]] at the age of 42,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sports.ndtv.com/|title=Latest Sports News, Live Scores, Results Today's Sports Headlines Updates - NDTV Sports|website=NDTVSports.com|language=en|access-date=18 April 2019}}</ref> [[Stuart Binny]] and [[Dhawal Kulkarni]], as well as international cricketers like [[James Faulkner (cricketer)|James Faulkner]], [[Steve Smith (cricketer)|Steve Smith]] and [[Tim Southee]]. Even off-spinner [[Ajit Chandila]], who played only 2 first-class matches and was also convicted in the spot-fixing scandal, was one of the top bowlers for the Royals during the 2012 and 2013 seasons.<ref name="firstspot.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/tambe-proves-the-value-of-rajasthan-royals-unique-culture-1509575.html |title=Tambe proves the value of Royals' unique culture |publisher=firstspot.com|date=7 May 2014 |access-date=7 May 2014}}</ref>

<p>The Royals were back in India after their average outing in South Africa. This time they seemed to be a better outfit as they were to play in conditions that should have suited them the most. But they had to suffer an unfortunate start to the competition, with a narrow 4 run defeat to the Mumbai Indians at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The highlight of this match though, was Yusuf Pathan hitting the fastest ever hundred in IPL history, off only 37 balls. Even some of the Mumbai fans were disappointed not to see Rajasthan win, by the end of it all.<sup id="cite_ref-Rajasthan_Royals_32-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rajasthan_Royals-32">[32]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a></sup>
</p><p>They went on to lose to the Delhi Daredevils by 6 wickets in one of their new ‘home’ grounds, Ahmedabad. And were again bruised badly by the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who won by 10 wickets. The team remained inconsistent throughout the whole season, winning their next four matches consecutively. One of the young Turks of the erstwhile ICL, Abhishek Jhunjhunwala impressed against the franchise representing his home state, Kolkata Knight Riders as his 36-ball 45 helped the Royals win by 34 runs.
</p><p>Followed by which the Western Australian batsman Adam Voges hit 45 runs off 24 balls to help Rajasthan beat Punjab in Mohali by 31 runs. The team seemed to have adapted to the Ahmedabad conditions better with wins against Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets as Yusuf Pathan continued his good form against the team, while they beat Chennai Super Kings by 17 runs, thanks to wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha's 49-ball 80.
</p><p>But they lost against Chennai in their return clash as Murali Vijay's hundred took the game away from them as well as were crushed in Delhi by 67 runs. But they managed to escape a Deccan Chargers attack, with a narrow 2 run victory in Nagpur and continued their unbeaten run in Jaipur though, as the out of sorts Kings XI Punjab were duly beaten by 9 wickets with English opener Michael Lumb winning the man of the match award for his 43-ball 83.
</p><p>Once again, Rajasthan Royals ended the tournament miserably with losses to Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at home and the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last round-robin game in Kolkata. Consequently, they failed to make it to the playoffs for the second consecutive season as they finished 7th out of the 8 teams in the competition, winning 6 games out of 14 played.<sup id="cite_ref-Rajasthan_Royals_32-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rajasthan_Royals-32">[32]</a></sup>

<p>The Rajasthan Royals, and the <a href="/info/en/?search=Kings_XI_Punjab" class="mw-redirect" title="Kings XI Punjab">Kings XI Punjab</a> were temporarily ejected from the league due to issues with their unreported ownership changes. The teams were reinstated with involvement from the High Court.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a></sup> Their owners were broken into several legal entities when the <a href="/info/en/?search=Board_of_Control_for_Cricket_in_India" title="Board of Control for Cricket in India">BCCI</a> required the incorporation of the companies.<sup id="cite_ref-scrap_45-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-scrap-45">[45]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a></sup> Kochi was also at risk of ejection for the same reasons before BCCI cleared their new ownership pattern for the tournament.<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a></sup>
</p><p>The team management decided to retain the Australian duo of Shane Warne and Shane Watson for the following three seasons of the IPL, although Warne's future continued to be uncertain. Yet, he decided to make this his final season for the Rajasthan Royals on the insistence of the team owners who felt that he was the ultimate source of inspiration for the team on and off the field.
</p><p>In the auction, the team's funds were reduced since they were penalised by the BCCI in 2010 and as a result, had to pay a certain amount of bank guarantee as fixed by the High Court. But they possessed an adequate amount of money to buy some of the world's finest T20 players, which they did not exactly.
</p><p>They managed to buy back Australian fast bowler <a href="/info/en/?search=Shaun_Tait" title="Shaun Tait">Shaun Tait</a> for US$300,000 as well as South African bowling all-rounder Johan Botha for US$950,000. The other star players which they picked were New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor for US$1 million as well as ‘The Wall’ <a href="/info/en/?search=Rahul_Dravid" title="Rahul Dravid">Rahul Dravid</a> for half that price. England's World T20 2010 winning skipper <a href="/info/en/?search=Paul_Collingwood" title="Paul Collingwood">Paul Collingwood</a> was also purchased for a mere US$250,000. The other players were mostly from the domestic circuits but were confident individuals following Rajasthan winning the <a href="/info/en/?search=Ranji_Trophy" title="Ranji Trophy">Ranji Trophy</a> that year.
</p><p>Rajasthan Royals began the IPL 2011 in grand fashion, beating the Kumar Sangakkara-led Deccan Chargers by 8 wickets, with the young Indian pacer Siddharth Trivedi adjudged the man of the match for his spell of 3/15 and the Royals continued their fine record against the Chargers. While Shane Warne defied age with a fine piece of bowling to assist Rajasthan in defeating a weakened Delhi Daredevils side by 6 wickets, with figures of 2/17.
</p><p>However, their confidence was dented with two back-to-back defeats to the new-look Kolkata Knight Riders in three days. In the clash at Jaipur, they lost by 9 wickets, due to a 100-run partnership between Gautam Gambhir and Jacques Kallis, Whereas, in Kolkata, Lakshmipathy Balaji picked 3/15 in 4 overs on a minefield pitch in Eden Gardens to help his team pull off an 8 wicket victory.
</p><p>The match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Bangalore was washed out due to rain, which made Rajasthan's task of making it into the last four much tougher. Shaun Marsh was in great nick and his 42-ball 71 resulted in the Royals losing to Kings XI Punjab in Mohali by 48 runs. However, they pulled together a string of a hat-trick of home wins, as Rajasthan chased successfully in all the three matches. The first was against the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, winning by 8 wickets. Followed by Mumbai Indians, the No. 1 team then on the points table as they chased down a total of 100 with 7 wickets to spare. And then the Pune Warriors India were undone by Ross Taylors’ 35-ball 47 not out, as Rajasthan won by 6 wickets.
</p><p>But again it was inconsistency which let the Royals down badly. They were given a proper thumping by the eventual champions Chennai Super Kings in both the matches they played against each other, within five days. The in-form Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed them by 9 wickets, while they were bowled out for 97 in their 8-wicket defeat to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
</p><p>Although this time they ended their round-robin matches well with a win against the Mumbai Indians in Mumbai and in the process, giving Shane Warne a fitting farewell, Rajasthan were dismissed from the competition since they ended at the 6th position out of the 10 teams in the tournament, having again won 6 out of their 14 matches played, with one being a no result.<sup id="cite_ref-Rajasthan_Royals_32-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rajasthan_Royals-32">[32]</a></sup>

<p>The rivalry between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings is a long-standing one. Known as the Northern Derby, it is often a high-scoring encounter. In 25 matches, the Royals have come out on top 14 times; the Kings have won 11.<sup id="cite_ref-80" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a></sup>
</p><p>During the fourth match of the 2019 season, Ravichandran Ashwin, who at the time played for Punjab,
ran out Jos Buttler at the non-striker's end.<sup id="cite_ref-81" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a></sup> This caused tensions to flare between the teams.
</p><p>In 2020, thanks to a brilliant opening stand between KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, Punjab scored 223/2 from their 20 overs. Rajasthan got off to a good start in the chase, but wickets began to fall, and the required run rate grew. Rahul Tewatia (at the time on 8 runs off 19 balls) hit five sixes in Sheldon Cottrell's 18th over to narrow the gap. Tom Curran hit the winning runs in the final over to give Rajasthan a famous comeback victory,<sup id="cite_ref-82" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a></sup> as well as the record for the highest successful run chase in IPL history.

<p>Traditionally, the Rajasthan Royals usually purchase cricketers who are relatively unknown or uncapped, that is, not played for their nation, at cut-throat prices. The Royals are famous for their frugal spending in the IPL auctions, even during the mega-auctions held once in 3 years. They have even bought players who had previously never played first-class cricket such as <a href="/info/en/?search=Dinesh_Salunkhe" title="Dinesh Salunkhe">Dinesh Salunkhe</a> and <a href="/info/en/?search=Pravin_Tambe" title="Pravin Tambe">Pravin Tambe</a>.

</p><p>Many of the cricketers who have played for the Royals, having been bought by them as relatively unknown players, have ended up as leading international cricketers partly due to their strong performances in the IPL and backing from the Royals management. In the initial seasons, such players included <a href="/info/en/?search=Taruwar_Kohli" title="Taruwar Kohli">Taruwar Kohli</a>, who was acquired by the franchise in 2008 under the Under-19 player quota and <a href="/info/en/?search=Yusuf_Pathan" title="Yusuf Pathan">Yusuf Pathan</a>, the elder brother of the Indian all-rounder <a href="/info/en/?search=Irfan_Pathan" title="Irfan Pathan">Irfan Pathan</a> and a relative unknown in cricketing circles unlike his more-celebrated younger brother. Yusuf's brilliant performances in the initial seasons of the IPL earned him a place in the Indian cricket team and he was a <a href="/info/en/?search=India_at_the_Cricket_World_Cup#India_at_the_2011_World_Cup" title="India at the Cricket World Cup">member of the Indian squad which won the 2011 Cricket World Cup</a>.

In the later seasons, these players have included Indian cricketers such as <a href="/info/en/?search=Ajinkya_Rahane" title="Ajinkya Rahane">Ajinkya Rahane</a>, wicket-keeper-batsman <a href="/info/en/?search=Sanju_Samson" title="Sanju Samson">Sanju Samson</a>, leg-spinner Tambe, whose performances for the Royals earned him a <a href="/info/en/?search=Ranji_Trophy" title="Ranji Trophy">Ranji Trophy</a> debut for <a href="/info/en/?search=Mumbai_cricket_team" title="Mumbai cricket team">Mumbai</a> at the age of 42,<sup id="cite_ref-83" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a></sup> <a href="/info/en/?search=Stuart_Binny" title="Stuart Binny">Stuart Binny</a> and <a href="/info/en/?search=Dhawal_Kulkarni" title="Dhawal Kulkarni">Dhawal Kulkarni</a>, as well as international cricketers like <a href="/info/en/?search=James_Faulkner_(cricketer)" title="James Faulkner (cricketer)">James Faulkner</a>, <a href="/info/en/?search=Steve_Smith_(cricketer)" title="Steve Smith (cricketer)">Steve Smith</a> and <a href="/info/en/?search=Tim_Southee" title="Tim Southee">Tim Southee</a>.
