Rajasthan Royals playoffs scenario: Rajasthan Royals remain in the top four with 12 points after winning six out of nine matches. After losing to Sunrisers in the previous match, they made a remarkable comeback against Punjab Kings. Now, how many wins will they need to reach the playoffs from here? Let's find out.
Rajasthan Royals’ playoffs chances: Despite two consecutive defeats against Sunrisers, the RR team staged a comeback in IPL 2026. On Tuesday, April 28, Rajasthan Royals defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets at their home venue, Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. Thanks to excellent bowling by Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Donovan Ferreira, RR successfully chased a huge target of 223. This was their sixth victory this season and put them in the top four. So, what are the chances of RR qualifying for the playoffs?
They have been playing great this season. They have played 9 games and won 6. They currently sit third on the points table with 12 points and a net run rate of +0.617. Rajasthan Royals' remaining matches in the league stage:
- May 1 - vs. Delhi Capitals
- May 9 - vs. Gujarat Titans
- May 17 - vs. Delhi Capitals
- May 19 - vs. Lucknow Supergiants
- May 24 - vs. Mumbai Indians
Typically, 16 points are sufficient to reach the IPL playoffs. Teams with 16 points qualify for the playoffs. However, teams with 14 points have also qualified. RCB qualified for the 2024 IPL, KKR in 2021, and RCB in 2020 with 14 points. However, this depends on the net run rate and the performance of other teams.
