Rajasthan Royals have the same number of points from 10 matches after their crushing defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans. After a promising start to the tournament, the team has now started faltering. Rajasthan Royals have won 5 matches so far in Season-16, while they have faced defeat in the same number of matches. This is the fourth defeat of Sanju Samson’s team in the last 5 matches. Because of this, the team is now in danger of being out of the top-4. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians, who are on the 5th and 6th position in the points table, have to play their respective matches today, if either of these two teams manages to win today, then Rajasthan will be out of the top-4. Let me tell you, apart from RR, RCB, MI and PBKS also have 10 points each.
Apart from this, two more embarrassing records were registered in the name of Rajasthan Royals. This is their biggest defeat in terms of balls remaining at Jaipur ground. Earlier in 2019, KKR had defeated them with the same number of balls, when Kolkata chased down the target of 140 runs. At the same time, this is RR’s second biggest defeat in terms of wickets at home.
