Top 2 Finish Still Possible for Rajasthan Royals
However, even after this defeat, the Rajasthan Royals are sitting 4th with 12 points from 10 matches in IPL 2026. They need 2 wins from their remaining 4 games to reach 16 points, the usual qualification mark. Winning 3 or 4 matches could push them into the top 2. Their remaining fixtures include GT on May 9, DC on May 17, LSG on May 19, and MI on May 24.
