The Rajasthan Royals are stepping into a fresh and exciting phase for IPL 2026. With a change in leadership and some big, smart trades the “Men in Pink” have rebuilt their team with one clear goal to win the title again just like they did back in 2008.
The new leadership & big trades
The biggest news this season is that Riyan Parag has been made the new captain. This comes after the big move of former skipper Sanju Samson who has joined the Chennai Super Kings.
In an interesting twist, the Royals have brought back Ravindra Jadeja from CSK the only current player from their 2008 title-winning team.
Meanwhile, Sam Curran was an important signing, but a late injury ruled him out. As a replacement RR signed experienced Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka who adds balance to the team.
