In brief,
- the Rajasthan Royals have unveiled their new IPL 2024 jersey.

Sanju responded, “Nizeee…but only on you.”
The movie concluded by stating that Yuzi Chahal created the 2024 Rajasthan Royals match day uniform.
How did Rajasthan fare in the Indian Premier League 2023?
In the 2023 IPL season, the Royals delivered a combination of highs and lows. They finished the season with 7 victories out of 14 matches, totaling 14 points and ranking fifth in the points standings. RR started the season brightly, winning four of their first five games.
However, their momentum dwindled in the second part of the season, with only two wins in their last seven games. One of the team’s low points came when they scored 59 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a match where they needed 172 runs.
Before the 2024 season, the Royals made shrewd additions at the auction to strengthen their roster. The squad paid an undisclosed fee to hire Rovman Powell, Shubham Dubey, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Nandre Burger, and Abid Mushtaq.
With fresh recruits and the retention of key players such as Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Chahal, the Royals are preparing for a tough season in 2024, hoping to improve on prior results and maybe win the title that has eluded them since their first victory in 2008.
The Rajasthan Royals took a humorous approach to unveiling their new shirt. They commissioned Yuzvendra Chahal to design their new shirt. The ace spinner was seen using his imagination to design the jersey. The amusing video also showed Chahal sharing the photographs with his colleagues and soliciting feedback.
Finally, RR insisted that Chahal’s design was not the new shirt. The Royals elected to go with their traditional colors of pink and blue.
The Rajasthan Royals begin their IPL 2024 season on March 24th. Sanju Samson and his team mates will face the Lucknow Super Giants, led by KL Rahul, at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) Schedule for the First 17 Days of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024:
- March 24: Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
- March 28: Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Delhi Capitals.
- April 1: Mumbai Indians (MI) vs. Rajasthan Royals.
- April 6: Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
It will also be a big season for Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Chahal, who are all anticipated to play key roles for their respective national teams in the T20 World Cup.
The jersey features a distinctive bandhani pattern inspired by Rajasthani women’s traditional costume, with dots and brilliant colors that signify the joy and celebration of the Royals’ native state. The design also takes inspiration from Rajasthan’s medieval architecture, with motifs reminiscent of the jali work found in palaces and forts. The hot pink represents powerful ladies and hospitality, but the navy blue evokes grandeur and composure. These components are present in both matchday and training kits, with the latter typically using admiral blue as the primary Pantone with hot pink embellishments.
Jake Lush McCrum, Chief Executive Officer of the Rajasthan Royals, stated, “We are proud to represent the culture and tradition of Rajasthan. Every new season provides us with the opportunity to collect major cultural and historical themes and combine them into a fashionable design that our players and fans worldwide can proudly wear. We are pleased to introduce the threads for this season and hope to see a sea of pink wherever we play!”
