[WATCH]- Rajasthan Royals Welcome Shane Warne’s Son To Training Camp Ahead Of IPL 2025

Rajasthan Royals (RR) welcomed Jackson Warne, son of the late Shane Warne, to their camp during the IPL 2025 season. Shane Warne, the legendary Australian cricketer and RR’s first-ever captain, had guided the team to its historic IPL title in the inaugural 2008 season.

Jackson was spotted engaging with the team’s current batting coach, Vikram Rathour, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Reflecting on the moment, Jackson shared that it felt deeply special to return after 15 years.

“Thank you for having me here. Feels very good. Feels special being back here. I haven’t been here since the 2011 season, when it was dad’s last year. So about 15 years,” he said.

Rajasthan Royals have also dedicated a stand to their former captain, named the ‘Shane Warne Gallery.’ Jackson described it as both “cool” and “special.”

“It was cool sort of looking at our tickets and it saying Shane Warne gallery on the ticket. Very special,” he added.
