Rajasthan Royals to don new jersey this IPL season
Rajasthan Royals unveiled their new jersey for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Wednesday in Jaipur.
ย
The winners of the inaugural IPL season in 2008, the Royals shared the news with an Instagram post.
ย
“New look, same Halla Bol. Jersey: RRevealed,” the caption said.
ย
The newly appointed captain, Riyan Parag, was present at the event with destructive teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. They displayed their new jerseys for the IPL 2026 season at the event.
ย
The franchise is likely to travel to Guwahati on March 26, 2026, for its season-opening match-up against CSK on March 30, as per the fixtures announced by the IPL Governing Council.
ย
Notably, the Rajasthan Royals were involved in one of the biggest trade-offs in IPL history ahead of the IPL 2026 season.
ย
ย
Sanju Samson, who had been the face of Rajasthan Royals for more than a decade, representing the franchise across 11 seasons, was traded to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and will now don the yellow colours.
ย
Rajasthan Royals, in turn, got Sam Curran and India’s seasoned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who were traded to the inaugural champions.
ย
Jadeja was part of the Rajasthan squad that lifted the inaugural IPL trophy in 2008 under the captaincy of the late Australian spinner Shane Warne. The veteran all-rounder represented the franchise during the 2008 and 2009 seasons before moving to other teams in the years that followed.
ย
Bishnoi, 25, was acquired by the Rajasthan Royals (RR) for Rs 7.2 crore at the mini auction in December last year. Born in Jodhpur, his move to the franchise is considered a homecoming as he initially started his journey as a net bowler for the team.
