Ten teams will be taking part in IPL 2022, with the addition of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) to the existing eight franchises. A total of 70 league games will be played, followed by four IPL playoff clashes.

#6 Rajasthan Royals (RR)

In Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) jersey for IPL 2022, the pink has been maintained as the main colour. However, this time a pattern has been added to it. For the sleeves and collar, Rajasthan have gone for dark blue. The design is an attempt to pay tribute to the ancient textile industry of the place.
