Rajasthan Royals announce 'Toughness Partner' for IPL 2021, news excites fans

The IPL 2021 has got off to a fantastic start with fans being entertained thanks to close matches and entertaining knocks by their favourite cricketers so far. Rajasthan Royals under the captaincy of Sanju Samson have also played some good cricket so far but haven't been able to close down matches.

In the three matches played so far, RR have just managed to win just one match and will look to win their second game in the tournament when they take on table-toppers Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. The RCB vs RR live match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai at 7:30 PM IST. Ahead of the RCB vs RR live match, Casio’s G-Shock range of watches decided to tie up with Rajasthan Royals as their official toughness partner.
