The Pink City will be embodied by Team Jaipur. The team will be led as well as coached by Aussie spin legend Shane Warne. The team has no icon player. It is the only IPL team to have a foreign captain and playing coach. The team's mascot is a lion named Moochu Singh. The team anthem is 'Halla Bol', and has been sung by Ila Arun. The Jaipur franchise is owned by Emerging Media Group. The group acquired the franchise for $67 million. Jaipur was the least active franchise during the player auction. The team does not have a designated icon player, which saved a lot of cap space for the franchise. However, the franchise was startlingly low-key during the auction, and in the end got reprimanded by the organizing committee for failing to meet the minimum bidding criteria of $3.3 million. The highest bid by Jaipur was for the Indian middle order batsman Mohammad Kaif, who came off the board at $675,000. The Royals are only one of its kind in the Twenty20 tournament as they are the only side to have an English cricketer in their squad, Hampshire's all rounder Dimitri Mascarenhas. Despite being the most low-profile team in the auction, they will look to capitalize on their strengths and emerge victorious.
