Rajasthan Royals, who are set to make a comeback during the 2018 edition of the IPL, will be raring to perform well in order to prove a point. Reclaiming their lost status and trust from fan base will be among the priorities for the franchise.

Rahul Dravid, who was their coach during the ill-fated 2013 season, has now moved on to new avenues. In his absence, the Royals may need a wise cricketing brain so that they can compete strongly for their second IPL title.

Many youngsters like Kamran Khan and Swapnil Asnodkar were given opportunities to showcase their talent by Warne during his captaincy stint with the Royals.
