Rajasthan Royals have been eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoff race, becoming the second team to exit the tournament. Despite a promising start, poor form, injuries, and inconsistent performances led to their downfall. Fans are disappointed as RR now looks ahead to major changes before IPL 2026.
In yet another shocking twist in IPL 2025, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) have officially become the second team eliminated from the playoff race. Once considered strong contenders early in the season, RR’s campaign took a sharp downturn, leaving fans heartbroken and analysts scratching their heads.
Rajasthan Royals came into IPL 2025 with a balanced squad and high expectations. With a solid top order, a strong pace attack, and smart leadership, RR looked poised for a strong season. But after a few early wins, their form dipped dramatically.
Middle-order Collapse: Consistent failures in the middle overs hurt their momentum during chases and defenses.
Injuries to Key Players: The absence of star performers at crucial moments exposed a lack of bench strength.
Questionable Captaincy Calls: Tactical errors in high-pressure games cost RR valuable points.
Inconsistent Bowling: Their bowlers struggled to maintain control in death overs, leading to multiple high-scoring defeats.
Fan Reactions: From Hopeful to Heartbroken
Social media exploded with reactions as the news broke. Loyal RR fans, still reeling from the franchise's last playoff miss, expressed their frustration and disappointment.
“We had the squad. We had the potential. But we just didn’t deliver,” wrote one disheartened supporter on X (formerly Twitter).
What’s Next for the Royals?
With the playoffs out of reach, the Royals now face some tough decisions. Will they rebuild around young talent for IPL 2026, or will there be big-name exits and leadership changes?
One thing is clear — the Royals need a fresh strategy if they want to reclaim the glory they last touched in 2008.
The exit of Rajasthan Royals from IPL 2025 marks another major twist in what has been one of the most unpredictable seasons in recent memory. As the playoff battle intensifies for other franchises, RR must now reflect, regroup, and rise again next year.
