IPL teams ranked in order of most points accumulated in first 10 seasons

#7 Rajasthan Royals: 124 points, 8 seasons

While the Rajasthan Royals won the maiden season of the Indian Premier League under the inspired leadership of Shane Warne, they have been largely inconsistent since.

Their policy of unearthing talent from unprecedented sources and adoption of the horses-for-courses theory has produced mixed results in the tournament. That attests directly to the low number of points they have accumulated through the eight seasons that they have played.

However, they have managed to punch above their weight and have challenged the giant franchises on multiple occasions.

It will be interesting to see how they respond to the challenges before them this season. They are returning to the league after a two-year hiatus and will have to deal with the aftermath of Steve Smiths ball-tampering embarrassment against South Africa. RR recently sacked the right-handed batsman from his captaincy duties and gave the leadership mantle to Ajinkya Rahane.
