IPL stats watch: A complete overview of Rajasthan Royals' journey

Rajasthan Royals had a dream start in the inaugural edition of the IPL. They topped the league stage and eventually won the tournament. But since then, their performance has left a lot to be desired. In the next four years, they alternated between the 6th & 7th position in the league table.

The last four editions, their performance improved considerably as they reached the playoffs thrice. But IPL 2008 was the first and the only time they reached the finals of the tournament. They have played in nine of the eleven editions of the IPL. They missed out on IPL 2016 & 2017 as they were suspended on charges of spot-fixing.
