IPL: 3 records held by RR that may never be broken

The Rajasthan Royals made history becoming the first team to lift the IPL crown, in 2008. While they have not won the title since, the team has become one of the most inspiring franchises in the league, with a long history and a robust ecosystem of cricketing operations.

The team has become a developmental haven for young players, with exponents like Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel. They go into 2026 with a balanced unit and will look to add to their inaugural triumph.

Here are three Rajasthan Royals records that may be unbreakable

3) Oldest IPL debutant 

Pravin Tambe made his IPL debut for the Rajasthan Royals at the age of 41, in the 2013 season. Up until that period, he was yet to play cricket at the highest-level and was playing for clubs in Mumbai while balancing a day-job. Tambe’s leg spin impressed scouts from the team and he was handed a contract for the 2013 season.

In three seasons for the Royals he picked up 23 wickets with his crafty leg spin, including 15 in a dominant 2014 season. Tambe also picked up a hat-trick in that season, becoming the oldest player to achieve that feat as well.
