- Shane Watson
In the 2014 edition of IPL, Rajasthan Royals decided to give Steve Smith as the captain as Shane Watson did come for the toss. Watson performed badly in the 2015 edition with both bat and ball, stepped down from the captaincy quietly.
Rajasthan Royals performed brilliantly in the 2014 edition after the initial setback. Mumbai Indians chased down 189 in 14.4 overs during the remarkable comeback in IPL history and RR had to settle for 5th position.
RR played 14 matches winning 7 matches and losing 7 matches. RR had to restrict Mumbai Indians from scoring 189 in 14.4 overs but could not do it. Watson has been there in IPL history from 2008 onwards.
