An undesirable record was created when Rajasthan Royals lost half their team during the IPL power-play against Mumbai Indians in Jaipur. Rajasthan struggled all through IPL 2025. They folded up again in a very vital match. After posting a mammoth 217, Rahul Dravid's boys just staggered to an embarrassing collapse of 51 for 5.
A victory in every match was crucial for Rajasthan to keep their chances alive in the playoff-vicinity. They took a lot of self-belief from the consistent win against the Gujarat Titans with both Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal doing wonders. Yet back at home, the Royals took their old cases back in the clash against MI. The top-order scored a dismal 13, 0, 9, and 0.
Vaibhav failed to score any runs after getting out by Deepak Chahar, who really had impressive stats from his previous game where he got a century. After this, Trent Boult knocked Jaiswal off his feet and returned with another effort that earned him the wickets of Nitish Rana. The next minute, Jasprit Bumrah shined and sent captain Riyan Parag as well as Shimron Hetmyer batting back to the pavilion in just two deliveries.
This season, Rajasthan's middle-order has failed to come good. Even the second-highest run-scorer for the team, Riyan Parag, hasn't made a fifty all season. Dhruv Jurel began in great style with 70 in the opener but hasn't delivered much since then, especially in major chases. Not counting the win over Gujarat, the whole team hasn't functioned as a unit even on a few occasions.

The absence of Sanju Samson has harmed the Royals badly, and the return of Rahul Dravid has not set off any turnaround. Sticking with out-of-form batters, the poorly held auction left them few choices for replacement. It has been all the way downhill for this once-proud franchise, with Vaibhav Suryavanshi providing some gleam; the fact that they are relying on a 14-year-old tells the tale.
