Rajasthan Royals (RR) have re-established themselves as a quality side in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" title="Indian Premier League (IPL)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a> in the last few years. In 2022, they concluded their journey as runners-up, and in their superb campaign, Jos Buttler ensured the quality of batting while Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult served the bowling attack efficiently.
Chahal, who was playing his debut season for Rajasthan, looked effective with the ball and ended the season as a Purple Cap winner with 27 wickets in 17 matches at an economy of 7.75. Similarly, when RR clinched the title in 2008, Sohail Tanvir, Shane Warne, and Shane Watson put up an extraordinary show with the ball.&nbsp;
In the upcoming IPL installment, Rajasthan supporters will expect their bowlers to step up and play their roles remarkably so that their side succeeds in adding another trophy to their cabinet. With the marquee event just a few days away, let’s discuss RR’s five greatest bowling performances of all time.&nbsp;

In Qualifier 2 of the 2022 IPL played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, when RR clashed with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the former registered a seven-wicket win and qualified for the final. Jos Buttler won the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten 106-run knock off 60 deliveries but earlier in the game, it was Prasidh Krishna, who had bowled an excellent spell to set the stage for batters.
Taking on RCB’s quality batting unit confidently, Krishna delivered an early breakthrough to his team, getting rid of Virat Kohli. After the former RCB skipper’s scalp, the pacer cleaned up veteran Dinesh Karthik and Wanindu Hasaranga. In his four-over spell, he splurged only 22 runs and got three wickets.&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals (RR) made a comeback in IPL in 2018 after the end of their two-year suspension that happened due to betting activities. Under Ajinkya Rahane’s leadership, RR concluded their journey in the playoffs. In the league round, when they were required to beat Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) in Jaipur, the leg-break bowler Shreyas Gopal stood tall on the day.
Batting first in the do-or-die contest at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, RR posted 164 runs on the board, with Rahul Tripathi’s unbeaten 80 off 58. Defending the total, Rajasthan got the crucial wicket of &nbsp;Virat Kohli in the third over of the game but the partnership between Parthiv Patel and Ab de Villiers was making the task easy for Challengers.
Shreyas held his nerves in the crunch situation and dismissed Patel and Moeen Ali in the ninth over.&nbsp; In his next over, the leggie attacked RCB again and this time, he sent Mandeep Singh back to the pavilion. However, De Villers’ presence on the crease was posing a threat to RR but Shreyas displayed his determination and got the better of the Protea, who scored 53 off 35. In the end, Royals folded Challengers on 134 and Gopal became the Player of the Match for his 4/16 figures.
