2. Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals’ NRR of +2.233 reflects dominant performances. They defeated CSK and Gujarat Titans, including a close 6-run win in Match 9.
Ravi Bishnoi leads the bowling attack. He took 4 wickets against GT and maintains a strong IPL economy rate of 8.22. His role is strengthened by having another spinner at the opposite end, increasing pressure on batters.
Yashasvi Jaiswal continues his strong form, scoring 55 off 36 balls against GT. He previously scored 559 runs in IPL 2025.
Dhruv Jurel contributed 75 in the same match, showcasing lower-order strength. This balance across batting and bowling gives Rajasthan Royals depth across all departments.
