In IPL 2025, the performance of the first season champions Rajasthan Royals has not been as expected. After consecutive defeats, the hopes of playoffs were reduced, but a recent brilliant win against Gujarat Titans has given new life to the team.
Tremendous win over Gujarat – Rajasthan defeated Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in their 10th match. The heroes of this victory were Vaibhav Suryavanshi (101 runs) and Yashasvi Jaiswal. This was Rajasthan’s third win this season, but this win improved the team’s run rate and it reached 7th place in the points table. So far the team has 6 points.
Playoff prospects: What is the chance – Rajasthan Royals are not completely out of the playoffs yet. The team still has to play 4 more matches. If it wins all 4 matches, it will have 14 points. But at least 16 points are required to reach the playoffs. So, there are two things that Rajasthan needs to reach the playoffs Win all 4 matches and improve the run rate: Even with 14 points, a better run rate is the only thing that can take the team to the playoffs. Two consecutive losses for any of the top 5 teams: This will not ensure that the top 5 teams reach 16 points, and Rajasthan will have a chance to reach the playoffs on the basis of run rate.However, looking at the performance of the top teams, Rajasthan’s chances of reaching the playoffs seem very low. But anything can happen in cricket, and Rajasthan still has a small ray of hope.
