That, however, would be the Royals’ only title in the 15 years that have passed since. The Jaipur-based franchise would reach the final just once since then — in the 2022 edition, where they would lose against the debuting Gujarat Titans to finish runners-up.

RR entered the auction with the second-lowest purse among the 10 franchises — an amount of Rs 14.5 crore. After releasing nine players, including senior overseas players Jason Holder and Joe Root, they were left with eight slots (three overseas).
