Rajasthan Royals RR
Every Rajasthan Royals record in one place — the all-time marks, the Orange and Purple Caps and Players of the Tournament, the top performers, and the biggest wins. RR have produced four Players of the Tournament, and 117 Player of the Match awards have gone to RR players.
RR record highs and lows from 2008 to 2025
Eight all-time records — the club's biggest win and heaviest defeat, its highest total and highest chase, the lowest it has defended and its lowest total, and the highest and lowest it has conceded.
Low-score records count only innings that ended naturally — bowled out, however few the overs, or the full 20 batted. An innings cut short by rain, or ended by reaching the target, is not a low score.

1 Orange Cap & 2 Purple Caps for RR
Rajasthan Royals' honours follow the club's deep runs rather than its lean years: all three came in seasons that reached the final, and not one in a season that missed the playoffs. Sohail Tanvir's 2008 Purple Cap was the first awarded in IPL history. In 2022 the club held both at once, Jos Buttler taking the Orange Cap and Yuzvendra Chahal the Purple — the only time RR have held both. No RR player has led either chart in the three seasons since 2022.
