    What's the story

    The inaugural winners of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals have been on a hunt for their second crown.

    The Royals came very close last season when they lost the finals against the Gujarat Titans.

    The Royals have a solid squad on offer and will be keen to make their presence felt in IPL 2023.

    Here we present the statistical preview.

    Seasons

    Performance in previous seasons

    The Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings in the inaugural 2008 IPL final.

    But since then they have made it to the playoffs only four times. They finished in the playoffs in 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2022. However, their second appearance in the finals only came last year.

    They finished with the wooden spoon in 2020. They finished seventh (second-last) twice in 2021 and 2019.
