The 2008 champions, last season failed to qualify for the play-offs after most of their overseas players left early due to the World Cup. Rajasthan Royals did learn from their mistakes this year during the auction as they signed back-ups if first choice foreign players do leave early due to national commitments. They also managed to sign some Indian under-19 stars in the IPL 2020 auction. Their biggest signing was Robin Uthappa who has won multiple IPL titles with Kolkata Knight Riders.  Rajasthan Royals added as many as 11 players in their squad for the 2020 edition of the cash-rich T20 cricket league. Apart from releasing and signing players, RR also traded Ajinkya Rahane to the Delhi Capitals. We look at how the Royals did during the IPL 2020 auction
