Few franchises are as evenly balanced as this one: the Rajasthan Royals IPL records show 123 wins and 122 losses from 251 matches between Apr 2008 and May 2026. That works out to a 50.2 win share of decided games.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the title in their first season, 2008, and reached one more final, in 2022, finishing runners-up. This page sets out the season-by-season record, head to head results against every side, and the franchise leaders for runs, wickets and sixes.
Rajasthan Royals season by season: one title, one other final
The 2008 side remains the high point. RR won 13 of 16 that year and took the trophy, a record no later Rajasthan team has come near. Their next best seasons by wins were 2013, with 11 victories from 18, and 2022, when 10 wins from 17 carried them to the final.
The weak seasons stand out too. In 2025 RR won only 4 of 14, and there were 5-win seasons in 2009, 2019 and 2021. They bounced back in 2026 with 9 wins from 16. The table jumps from 2015 to 2018, so the franchise has 17 seasons in the data.
Against single opponents the picture is mixed. RR are level at 16 wins each against both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. Their best record is against Punjab Kings, 18 wins to 12, and against Lucknow Super Giants they lead 6 to 2. The hardest matchup has been Gujarat Titans (GT), with just 3 wins from 11, while Kolkata Knight Riders have beaten them 17 times in 31. Read more in CSK vs RR and RR vs MI.
