Rajasthan Royals (RR) moved off the bottom of the table with an important six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who now sit at the very bottom. Youngster Vaibhav Suryavanshi set the tone with a quickfire half-century, and the chase was wrapped up thanks to strong finishing by Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have also been knocked out of the playoff race. Their hopes officially ended on Monday after a six-wicket loss humorously referred to in some reports as losing “to themselves,” though it was their opponents who sealed their fate. With this defeat, LSG joined CSK, RR, KKR, and SRH among the teams eliminated from this season’s playoff contention.
As of now, three teams have already booked their spots in the playoffs — Gujarat Titans sit on top with 18 points, followed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, both with 17 points. The race for the last remaining playoff spot is now between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. Fittingly, the two sides will face each other in a high-stakes clash on Wednesday, with the winner set to claim the fourth and final spot in the playoffs.
