8 IPL teams and their international equivalents
Many IPL teams and international sides share similar traits.
7. Rajasthan Royals – Pakistan
After winning the inaugural season in 2007, Rajasthan Royals haven’t done well. They tend to blow hot and cold in the tournament and often find themselves in the middle of team standings. Likewise, Pakistan also won the 2009 T20 World Cup and 2017 Champions Trophy. However, when it comes to consistency, they lack behind.
Pakistan tends to struggle against big teams, and their position in ICC rankings speaks everything. However, their knack for performing out of the blue moon has earned them the ‘unpredictable’ tag. Nevertheless, the Men in Green need to make consistency their priority to thrive at the highest level.
A positive attribute which Pakistan and Rajasthan Royals share is their young talent. While the Men in Green have Shaheen Afridi and Haider Ali in their ranks, RR have the services of Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson, and Kartik Tyagi, who all are deemed as future stars. Meanwhile, at the season postponement, RR was fifth in the table with three wins in seven games.
