On Saturday, April 19, Rajasthan Royals locked horns against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. It was a nail-biting thriller as LSG snatched a win out of jaws of defeats.
Notably, LSG, batting first, put 180 runs on the board. In reply, RR failed to score 9 runs in the last over and fell short by just 2 runs in the end. It was a game for Rajasthan to win as they were 130/3 at one point and required just 50 to win off 25 balls with seven wickets in hand.
However, Avesh Khan bowled a brilliant spell as he took three wickets and turned the course of the match. Now RR are placed 8th on the table with just two wins in eight matches. The fans are worried whether it is the end of the road for the Men in Pink.
How Can Rajasthan Royals Qualify For IPL 2025 Playoffs?
It is not the end of the road for Rajasthan, but with just six games left, there is only a bleak chance that they can proceed to the next round. Notably, RR would have to win all of their games.
A defeat in the upcoming matches would end their IPL 2025 campaign. Usually, 16 is the magical number in IPL, where a team is likely to qualify. Notably, 16 is the maximum number that RR can reach, and for that, they need to win all of their matches.
It is worth noting that in case of winning all of their remaining matches, Rajasthan Royals would have to rely on other results and net run-rate to qualify for the knockouts.
