Placed eighth after their defeat to RCB, Rajasthan Royals have had just two wins in nine matches. Rajasthan Royals have a total of five more matches remaining and needless to say, need to secure victories in all five games, which will take their tally to 14 points. However, that would not be enough as a team needs to win atleast eight matches (16 points) to be in contention for a place in the IPL playoffs. This indicates that the loss to RCB has ended Rajasthan Royals' hopes for a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs and only a miraculous turn of events, which seems unlikely at this time, can see them through.

Inconsistency, especially when it comes to batting and also injury to captain Sanju Samson, have hit Rajasthan Royals hard in IPL 2025. Last year, the Rajasthan Royals had secured a spot in the IPL playoffs, where they lost to eventual runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad.
