History.
The team won the inaugural edition of the IPL under the captaincy of Shane Warne, despite being written off as a title contender by the media and fans. The Royals were also the runners-up of the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 under Rahul Dravid's captaincy.

This means they could not participate in both the 2016 and 2017 IPL tournaments. They returned to the competition for the 2018 season.
