After losing 6 out of 8 matches, how will RR now reach IPL 2025 playoffs?

IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals suffered an embarrassing defeat against Lucknow Super Giants in the last match. Lucknow’s team scored 180 runs while batting first in the match. In response, Rajasthan could score only 178 runs after losing 5 wickets in 20 overs. This is the team’s fourth consecutive and overall sixth defeat in 8 matches in the ongoing season. The team is currently at 8th position in points table with 4 points and 0.633 runs rate.

In view of the current status of Rajasthan Royals in the points table, it is difficult to reach the playoffs. But the team still has a chance. Let us tell you how Rajasthan can reach the playoffs.

Rajasthan Royals can reach the playoffs in this way

Rajasthan Royals will have to win all the remaining six matches of IPL 2025 to qualify for the playoffs. If they lose any match now, they will not be able to make it to the top-4. Six wins in the remaining six matches will not guarantee the RR’s place in the playoffs as four teams – Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants – have already scored 10 points and have to play at least six matches and plays, and they will remain in the claim.

To qualify for the playoffs with 14 points, Rajasthan will have to ensure that more than three teams do not finish their league stage with more than 14 points and at the end their net run rate is better than others. If this does not happen, Rajasthan Royals will not be able to make a place in the playoffs this season.
