IPL Fantasy Cricket Team Overview – Rajasthan Royals

Flashback 2008: DY Patil Stadium is busy hosting pool of cricketers and other important personalities from many sectors. A prize distribution ceremony is holding the spectators to the stadium seat. In the field, a blue jersey team is dancing, rejoicing and screaming around along with the spectators. The players in the blue jersey were later seen to hold a trophy. No, the blue jersey is not of our national team, team India. Our regular IPL fantasy cricket fans by now know that we are talking about the Rajasthan based IPL team, Rajasthan Royals.

Winning the inaugural edition of the IPL tournament has been a dream come true for Rajasthan Royals. But since then, their performance has not made an important mark on the fantasy cricket league fans.
