Rajasthan Royals IPL Playoffs Qualification: Despite defeating Lucknow, Rajasthan has accumulated 16 points in the standings, but officially, Rajasthan Royals have not yet qualified for the playoffs. The IPL 2024 Points Table shows that the Rajasthan Royals team is currently in first place. In this season, the first team to receive 16 points is the Rajasthan Royals. With a convincing victory against Lucknow, the team has kept its winning streak intact. In this scenario, Rajasthan has lost only one match out of 9. So far, no other team has been able to accumulate more than 10 points, but Rajasthan has earned a total of 16 points. However, Rajasthan Royals have not yet received the (Q) tag indicating qualification for the IPL 2024 playoffs. Although 16 points are generally considered sufficient to qualify for the playoffs in the IPL, Rajasthan has still not qualified despite achieving this. Even with 16 points, Rajasthan Royals are not eligible for the playoffs.
Rajasthan Royals have accumulated 16 points. However, in this scenario, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s team is ahead of all other teams, giving every team the opportunity to collect 16 points. It may not be possible for all teams to achieve a full 16-16 points, but mathematically, it’s possible. If there are six teams with 16-16 points in the IPL 2024 Points Table, then not all of them can qualify for the playoffs, as only four spots are definite for the playoffs. Therefore, only the four teams with the best net run rate will qualify for the playoffs. Kolkata Knight Riders have the highest net run rate compared to all other teams. The Kolkata Knight Riders are currently in second place. Even if they are in second place, their points are only 10. Therefore, Rajasthan Royals now need to win one more match to qualify. Winning another match among the remaining five matches will earn Rajasthan a ticket to the playoffs.
