Shane Warne was set to captain the Rajasthan Royal in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. While cricket pundits around the world felt that Rajasthan Royals would finish last, Warne had other plans.
A defiant Shane Warne led the charge that saw the Royals sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Not only did they top the points table, but they went on to defeat Chennai Super Kings in the finals to become the inaugural champions of the IPL.
Since then Warne had some decent stints as captain but Rajasthan Royals never managed to qualify for the playoffs again under his captaincy. The Australian leg-spinner has captained the Royals in 55 matches and won 30 of those matches with a winning percentage of 54.54%.

A wrestling aficionado since childhood, Sunil used to imitate his favorite wrestlers as a young kid, and started writing professionally about the sport via Sportskeeda’s revenue-sharing opportunity.
Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
