IPL 2018: Rajasthan Royals to announce their new captain on the Star Sports Network

Rajasthan Royals, who etched their name in IPL history by becoming the first ever champions, will now under the mantle of Shane Warne take on the challenge to find the perfect captain for the team. The Royals at this point are extremely well positioned with strong players including Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith and Ben Stokes, this makes the decision a tough one!

Ahead of the captain announcement, Shane Warne, Mentor – Rajasthan Royals spoke exclusively on the Star Sports network, “The captain plays an important role as there are players coming from different countries and he needs to bring them all together.  A captain is instrumental to create a culture within the team wherein every one gels with each other on and off the field. We indeed have some great choices- the likes of Ben Stokes, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith who bring leadership values with them. Jos Buttler too has capabilities to lead a team.”

Fans will be able to watch the entire episode of PHIR HALLA BOL- RETURN OF THE ROYALS featuring Shane Warne along with Mr. Manoj Badale, co-owner – Rajasthan Royals as they unveil their new captain for VIVO IPL 2018 on Star Sports 1, Star Sports HD 1, Star Sports Hindi 1, Star Sports Hindi 1 HD and Star Sports First today at 7 pm.
