IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals' Playoff Hopes Alive Despite 6 Losses

Rajasthan Royals (RR) are having a tough season in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, with their performance faltering in key moments. Their recent defeat to Lucknow Super Giants by just 2 runs on their home ground adds to a series of disappointing results.

This follows a similarly narrow loss to Delhi Capitals. With 6 losses in 8 matches, Rajasthan's chances of making the playoffs are slim, but the door is still slightly open.

Rajasthan Royals' path to Playoffs

Currently in 8th place with 4 points and a net run rate of -0.633, Rajasthan Royals (RR) face a difficult road ahead. They have 6 matches left in the season, and to have any hope of reaching the IPL 2025 playoffs, they will need to win every single one of them.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) must not only win but do so by large margins to improve their net run rate and boost their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoff chances.

Close shaves in recent matches

Rajasthan Royals have been on the edge of win in their recent matches. Against Delhi Capitals, they needed 9 runs in the final over but fell short, resulting in a Super Over where they ultimately lost.

A similar situation unfolded in their match against Lucknow, where they needed 9 runs off the last over to secure the win but could only manage 6, once again falling short in a heartbreaking defeat.

For Rajasthan Royals to make it to IPL 2025 playoffs, they need a flawless finish to the season. Every match from here on out is a must-win, and they'll need to do it convincingly to keep their playoff hopes alive.

RR complete squad for IPL 2025: Sanju Samson (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Shubham Dubey, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Kunal Rathore, Nitish Rana, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Kumar Kartikeya, Ashok Sharma.
