After the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) schedule for 2026 was officially unveiled by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), fans of the Rajasthan Royals are all excited to see their team lift their second trophy. The champions from the inaugural 2008 edition have been waiting for their second title ever since and will be hoping for a turnaround in 2026.
Ahead of the upcoming season, the Jaipur- and Guwahati-based franchise has named all-rounder Riyan Parag as the full-time captain. The side has also welcomed the return of star cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, whereas Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal also find spots in its ranks. RR will be playing only three matches in the first phase of the marquee event, all being at Guwahati’s Barsapara Stadium.
Parag & Co. will be opening their season against the Chennai Super Kings on March 30, followed by a game against another five-time winner, the Mumbai Indians on April 07. They will then take on the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday, April 10, for their third game.
