IPL 2018: Rajasthan Royals launch their new jersey

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.
