The best team till date is the Rajasthan Royals. They are less costly do not have big names in their batting. They were supposed to finish last. They proved the world wrong. They have played like a team and seem to have some strategy. These days if you randomly keep on changing bowlers and win a match you are hailed as a master strategist. They have not been doing it. May the spirit of Rajasthan is rubbing on them. I do not know teams have royal, kings, knights in their names.I do hope they beat the Chennai Kings black and blue.

The team is led and coached by Shane Warne. There is no Icon Player for the team. This is the only IPL team to have a foreign captain and playing coach.
