The 19th edition of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 is all set to kick off on March 28. The 10 franchises will look to put in their best performances in hopes of getting their hands on the prestigious title. With the season all set to kick off, many fans will be gearing up to witness the campaign of the inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals.
The side will have the likes of Riyan Parag, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel, and many more stars in their squad, with the addition of veteran India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as well.
It is worth noting that Royals brought in Jadeja as part of a trade deal with Chennai Super Kings, where they traded Sanju Samson to the five-time champions. Ahead of the start of the new season, Royals took to social media and shared a video of Ravindra Jadeja’s first training session.
In the clip that has been making the rounds all over social media, Jadeja was captured hitting massive sixes in the nets. "First day with RR camp. Feeling very good. Hit a few shots today after a long time, many more to come," Jadeja said in the video.
