Explainer IPL Playoffs Scenario: Rajasthan, which has lost 7 out of 9 matches, still has hopes, can make it to the playoffs..

Rajasthan Royals, who performed very poorly in the Indian Premier League, has suffered another defeat. In the match played on Thursday, the team had to face defeat by 11 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore. This match was played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This is Rajasthan Royals' fifth consecutive defeat in IPL this year. This was the team's seventh defeat in 9 matches played this season. Rajasthan Royals are in the 8th position in the points table with 4 points and their chances of qualifying for the playoffs are very low.

Even though the Rajasthan Royals team has got only 2 wins after playing 9 matches, the doors of the playoffs are not completely closed for them. There are still ways left for this franchise to qualify for the playoffs. For this, the team will have to win its remaining five matches by a big margin. Apart from this, it has to be hoped that no more than three teams reach more than 14 points. If this happens, then with 14 points and a better net run rate, the Royals can qualify for the playoffs. However, the possibility of this is very low.

How to get a playoff ticket
If we look at the points table at this time, three teams Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore have secured 12 points. They have at least five more matches left to play. If they win the next two matches, then the Royals will not be able to compete with them. If the Royals lose any of their remaining five matches or if any match is canceled due to rain, then the Royals will be out of the playoff race.

How many matches are left for Rajasthan, who will they face
Rajasthan will play against Gujarat Titans at home on Monday (April 28), after which it will face Mumbai Indians. In their last three league stage matches, the Royals will face Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on May 4, Chennai Super Kings at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 12, and Punjab Kings at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on May 16.
