Shane Warne was the spin head of that squad. He captained the team and also took 19 wickets in 15 matches. He rightfully scored the winning runs in the final. He continued to captain them till 2011 and eventually just coached the team. Warne also played in the Big Bash League till 2013.

He enjoyed a brilliant career and now works as a commentator. The most successful leg-spinner has also participated in various reality shows in the last few years.

Salunkhe was another leg-spinner who worked under Warne. He made six appearances for Royals in the tournament but couldn’t do much.

He was one of those off-field picks by the RR talent scout, who picked up a lot of talented youngsters from different grounds in India. Salunkhe has never played first-class cricket and all his professional cricket has been restricted to the T20 format.
