First ever IPL XI of Rajasthan Royals - where are they now?

5) Darren Lehmann

Lehmann's last stint in IPL was with Kings X1 Punjab

Darren Lehmann was bought by the Rajasthan Royals as a cover for Graeme Smith who was set to miss the first three games of IPL. He scored 1 run off 2 balls in the game, and he played only in the first two matches of that season.

Lehmann then coached the now defunct Deccan Chargers in 2009 before performing his final role in the IPL as the coach of Kings XI Punjab in 2013. He was in charge of the Australian cricket team till the ball-tampering incident ended his stint in 2018.

6) Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja is the biggest find of Rajasthan Royals

Ravindra Jadeja is probably the biggest find of the Rajasthan Royals in their 8 years of IPL. He had a decent first outing as he scored 29 runs off just 23 deliveries and was the highest run scorer for the Royals in that match.

Jadeja then went on to become an important player for the Chennai Super Kings and the Indian World Cup side of 2015. He played for the Gujarat Lions side in 2016 and 2017 season. He is presently a part of the Indian team and the Chennai Super Kings side in the IPL.
