The Rajasthan Royals have managed to win only one IPL, which was back in 2008, the inaugural season of the IPL. Ever since then, they have played in just one of the other IPL finals, in 2022, when the Sanju Samson-led side was defeated by the Gujarat Titans.
Ahead of the start of IPL 2026, the Rajasthan Royals management and their youngest cricketer, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, have declared themselves champions of the upcoming season of the IPL.
Sooryavanshi has been seen striking off his accomplished targets, like an IPL century and the U19 World Cup, while he writes the next target as the IPL trophy. Suryavanshi's form has been sublime across all formats of white-ball cricket.
