Shane Watson - 2008 - 2015
Rahul Dravid - 2012 - 2013
Steve Smith - 2015

Going into the inaugural edition of IPL, Rajasthan Royals was least expected to do well as they were void of big stars. But one man was their captain, coach and the biggest star and it was Shane Warne. He led from the front and beat all the odds to win the title.
Shane Warne was part of the team till 2011 and when he retired another senior statesman in the form of Rahul Dravid took over the captaincy in 2012. He led the young team very well and gave the batton to Shane Watson who was with the team since 2008.
Watson did captain a few games when Warne was injured and took over the full-time captaincy in 2014. Steve Smith captained the side in 2015 and hence was promoted in 2018 but the sandpaper gate prevented him from playing in the IPL. As a result, Ajinkya Rahane was appointed as the captain.
