Why RR are Struggling to Chase Targets in IPL 2025?
Rajasthan Royals have been having a surprise dip in performance in IPL 2025, with easy chase fails and no winning momentum in their 9 matches played, they sit at the eight spot in the points table with just 4 points to their name. Let’s take a look at Why RR are Struggling to Chase Targets in IPL 2025?
What is happening with RR?
Rajasthan Royals find themselves in a worryingly low position in IPL 2025, with 7 matches lost in 9 matches played their chances of making the playoffs are slim. The frustrating part about their matches lost is that they’ve been in control in the earlier part of several matches but have failed to close them out under pressure.
Against Delhi Capitals, they needed just 9 runs in the final over with seven wickets in hand but couldn’t get over the line, eventually losing the match in the Super Over. In their match against Lucknow Super Giants, the equation was again 9 off 6, yet they fell short due to no finishing power in the final over, and lost by just 2 runs.
Their recent match with Royal Challengers Bengaluru was another missed opportunity. Chasing 206, they needed only 18 off the last 12 balls but lost key wickets and collapsed, eventually losing by 11 runs. Despite having opened strongly, RR’s finishing has let them down badly, and their repeated failure in chasing targets is costing them their playoff chances.
Where do they need to work?
Rajasthan Royals needs a reliable finisher to stabilize their batting lineup. Players like Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel show potential but lack consistency under pressure. Riyan Parag, still getting around his leadership role as their captain, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, with mixed performances, have not been able to close matches. Without an experienced finisher like Sanju Samson in the squad, RR will continue to struggle in clutch moments.
