5 major records made by RR in IPL history
In the 15 editions of the league, the franchise has created some brilliant records.
2. Fewest defeats in an edition (3 losses, 2008)
Rajasthan Royals Lost only three games in the whole season in 2008 and also clinched the trophy. No team has lost fewer games in any edition of the tournament. The Royals while achieving this feat outclassed other teams in the competition with their brilliant performance in both the league round and knockout stage.
Clinching 11 victories out of 14 games in the round-robin stage, the team topped the table with 22 points. Among star-studded squads such as Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), Mumbai Indians (MI), Deccan Chargers (DC), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), RR were not considered favourites to grab the title.
However, their players drew attention by becoming contenders for the title in the knockouts. After having a brilliant run in the group stage, RR continued their form in the knockouts. Eventually, the team brought down Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the semi-final and final respectively to clinch their maiden title.
