Dhruv Jurel Struggles as Rajasthan Royals Face 8th Chasing Defeat
The Rajasthan Royals' 8th chasing defeat in IPL 2025 has raised concerns about their ability to perform under pressure, and they will need to regroup and strategize to overcome this hurdle and make a successful comeback in the tournament.
Rajasthan Royals' woes while chasing continued in IPL 2025, as they suffered their 8th defeat in a single edition, a record they now share with the defunct Pune Warriors. Despite a strong start, scoring 89/1 in the powerplay, they failed to chase down 220 against Punjab Kings.
The Rajasthan Royals' inability to successfully chase targets has been a recurring theme in IPL 2025. Their latest defeat at the hands of Punjab Kings has highlighted the need for improvement in their middle-order batting and death bowling. The team's performance in the powerplay, where they scored 89/1, showed promise, but they were unable to capitalize on this strong start.
The Pune Warriors, who are no longer part of the IPL, had previously held this unwanted record, losing 8 matches while chasing in both 2012 and 2013. The Rajasthan Royals will be looking to learn from their mistakes and work on their chasing strategy to avoid similar defeats in the future.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, the Rajasthan Royals will need to address their chasing woes if they hope to make a push for the playoffs. With Dhruv Jurel and other key players in their lineup, they have the potential to turn their season around and make a strong comeback.
