NEW DELHI: Inaugural IPL champions Rajasthan Royals enter the 2026 season looking for a fresh start after a disappointing campaign last year. Sanju Samson’s move to CSK has marked the beginning of a new phase, with RR aiming to rebuild after finishing ninth.

The return of Ravi Bishnoi to his home state will strengthen the spin attack, while additions like Adam Milne and several uncapped players add depth to the bowling unit.
