IPL 2020: Meet the Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals -- who won the inaugural IPL in 2008 -- have been perennial under-performers in recent years.

The Royals have boasted quality players in their ranks, but have not get the desired results.

The current Royals core comprises three Englishmen -- Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Jofra Archer -- and their Australian skipper Steve Smith.

For Royals, the problem is their Indian core which hasn't exactly been consistent.

Sanju Samson, an IPL specialist, is a fountain of talent, but has rarely performed in five straight games in any recent IPL.

A million dollar plus price tag weighs heavily on Jaydev Unadkat.

Squad: Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Robin Uthappa, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Manan Vohra, Kartik Tyagi, Akash Singh, Oshane Thomas, Andrew Tye, David Miller, Tom Curran, Aniruddha Joshi, Shreyas Gopal, Riyan Parag, Varun Aaron, Shashank Singh, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Mayank Markande.
