Rajasthan Royals (RR) hasn’t had an impressive time in the last couple of years of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ajit Chandila, Ankeet Chavan and S Sreesanth were caught in match-fixing after which the Rajasthan Royals were handed a suspension two years. The Gujarat Lions and the Rising Pune Supergiant replaced them in the 2016 and 2017 edition of the tournament.

However, the franchise would be making a comeback in the upcoming edition of the T20 League. Recently, they introduced their new jersey at an event in Jaipur. The outfit is more or less barring a few changes here and there. JK Lakshmi is the title sponsor of the team and the logo will be engraved on the chest of their jersey.
