Speaking of Rajasthan Royals, the team has faced challenges in the IPL in recent years, struggling to replicate their 2008 championship success. Led by Sanju Samson, the team remains optimistic about their prospects in the 2024 season. Under Samson’s captaincy, RR reached the final in 2022 but narrowly missed out on the title, falling short against Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans.

However, their performance dipped in 2023, finishing fifth in the standings and failing to advance to the playoffs due to their inferior net run rate compared to Mumbai Indians, who secured a playoff berth.

As IPL 2024 approaches, Rajasthan Royals will kick off their campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on March 24. The team is determined to commence the tournament on a positive note and strive to reclaim their position among the league’s elite, aspiring to achieve success throughout the season.
