Mumbai [India], Feb 23 (NT): Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals is going to declare their team captain for the 11th edition of the worldwide tournament on television on Saturday.

In the history of IPL, It will be the first time that a franchise would be announcing their skipper in such a style.

Rajasthan Royals are making a return in the cricket league after facing a two-year ban in the famous IPL fixing scam.

Former Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne is a mentor for the side in the  11th  season of IPL.

The franchise paid money for some of the most exclusive players in the IPL player auction 2018 to well pose themselves in their comeback as England all-rounder Ben Stokes was taken for Rs 12.5 crore while Indian bowler Jaydev Unadkat was purchased for Rs 11.50 crore.

Ahead of the skipper declaration, Warne said, "The captain plays an important role as there are players coming from different countries and he needs to bring them all together. A captain is instrumental to create a culture within the team wherein every one gels with each other on and off the field."

 

He further said, "We indeed have some great choices- the likes of Ben Stokes, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith who bring leadership values with them. Jos Buttler too has capabilities to lead a team."

 

The new captain will be disclosed on Star Sports. (NT)
