Team - Rajasthan Royals

The returning Rajasthan Royals surely were dealt a huge blow as they had to give up on the services of their beleaguered captain, Steve Smith after the ball tampering incident in Cape Town. Ajinkya Rahane, who has captained 6 international games for India, was their next choice. The calm Indian batsman has proven time and again that he is not a pushover in the T20 format and is quite an able skipper.

Shane Warne, the coach of RR, said that they have the 'best captain and team' and that he thoroughly believes in the new skipper. With the likes of Ben Stokes, Jaydev Unadkat, Jos Buttler, and Rahane leading from the front, the first champions of the league will look to regain their standing in the IPL.
