The team's performance in the 2008 and the 2013 season resulted in its qualification for the 2008 and the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20); [5] however, the 2008 edition was cancelled due to the 2008 Mumbai attacks. [6] The RR reached the finals in the 2013 CLT20, but lost the match to Mumbai Indians. [7] Seventy-three players have played for RR, [8] of whom Sanju Samson has played the most matches. [9]
