Owner of Rajasthan Royals:  Manoj Badale holds maximum percentage of stakes amongst other owners of the Jaipur-based franchise.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) are taking on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (RR) in the fifth match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at Pune’s MCA Stadium.

In what is the first match for both the franchises in the ongoing season, the RR, led by Sanju Sansom, have posted a massive total of 210/6 in their allotted 20 Overs, after being invited to bat first by Sunrisers’ skipper Kane Williamson.

Samson (55 off 27) smashed a quick fire half-century in mere 25 deliveries, after being provided with a fantastic foundation by the opening pair of Jos Buttler (35 off 28) and Yashaswi Jaiswal (20 off 16), with the duo adding 58 runs in the Powerplay.

Samson was equally well complimented by Devdutt Padikkal (41 off 29) as the pair added another 73 runs off 41 deliveries for the 3rd wicket. A wonderful cameo by Shimron Hetmyer (32 off 13) during the fag end of the innings meant that RR crossed the 200-run mark.

The RR were one of the few franchises who performed exceedingly well during the mega auction last month, with a rich combination of Indian capped, uncapped an experienced overseas stars in their squad.
