RR jersey 2021: Rajasthan Royals reveal their new team jersey 

The Rajasthan Royals enjoy a tremendous fan following in the league and are also one of the most celebrated teams of the competition. However, despite attaining monumental success in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League, they have visibly struggled in terms of consistency when it comes to their on-field performances. The RR team management has introduced notable changes ahead of the upcoming season in an attempt to turn their fortunes around. 

In an unsurprisingly move, former captain Steve Smith was released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2021 auction. India's dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson was named as the new captain for the RR team. Apart from making several alterations to their squad, they have also introduced a fresh new jersey that their players will be seen donning in the impending season of the cash-rich league. 

It is worth mentioning that Rajasthan Royals were one of the last teams to have locked in a title sponsor for the IPL 2021. The franchise ultimately named Expo 2020 Dubai as their title sponsors. Moreover, apart from Expo 2020 Dubai, brands like Nine Sanitary Napkins, TV9 Bharatvarsh, KEI Wires & Cables and Jio will also serve as the principal sponsors. The franchise took to its Twitter account to unveil the RR jersey 2021 -
