Rajasthan Royals finished last season at the third spot in the points table. They were the most consistent team in the first half of the season, winning eight of their first nine league games. However, they could not maintain the same momentum towards the business end of the competition and finished the league stage in the third spot.
With an eye on their second title and first since 2008, Rajasthan Royals will be keen to start their season with a win. And as they gear up for the game, we are taking a look at the RR Playing 11.
