Many Jaipurites told The PinkCity Post that the wait of two months for the first match would be difficult to stand.

Following the BCCI ban, the matches were not happening in Jaipur for the past two years.
Here are a few reasons we can’t wait for the matches to begin:
Guruji Shane Warne to mentor the team, again!
The legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne will mentor Rajasthan Royals. Under his leadership, Rajasthan Royals had a title run in the inaugural IPL way back in 2008. Jaipurites will get to see him on the grounds while training the team before the matches.
Kumar Mangalam Birla’s son is with us
Aryaman Vikram Birla is playing for Rajasthan Royals. It would be interesting to see him play. For the son of billionaire-industrialist and the chairman of the Aditya Birla Group Kumar Mangalam Birla, it would be a great chance to step out of his father’s shadow and carve a name for himself.

Many budding and established players
Youngsters like Sudhesan Midhun, Ankit Sharma, Mahipal Lomror and Prashant Chopra will get an environment where they can hone their cricketing skills and take this as an opportunity to prove themselves on the big stage. Mahipal Lomror, the Rajasthani lad is in the home team and will get to rub shoulders with the best of Indian and international players. Unadkat – the left-arm pacer from Saurashtra who was the most expensive Indian buy in the auction this year – is also playing for Rajasthan Royals.
So are you going to be at SMS Stadium on April 11?
