Data Shorts: RR's Chasing Woes

Rajasthan Royals' Batting Struggles

The team has lost eight of nine games while batting second in IPL 2025, with a major downgrade from their previous IPL cycle (2022-24) where they won 13 of 21 matches while chasing.

Top-Order Issues

• Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have led the team to flying starts in four of their six outings together.
• However, the middle-order has misfired, with Shimron Hetmyer averaging 21.25 in the IPL since 2024.
• Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag have been inconsistent, with Samson's prolonged absence not helping.

Batting in Overs 7-15

• RR have lost the most wickets in the middle-phase among the 10 teams, with an average runs/wicket and run-rate on the lower side.
• Post powerplay (Overs 7-20), they average 22.24 runs per wicket (second lowest) and 8.98 runs-per over (third-lowest).

RR's Batting in IPL 2025

• The team has lost 26 of the 38 wickets to spin in the middle-overs (the most) at an average of 23.
• Their batters have been striking at 134.73 against spin overall, which ranks them eighth among the 10 teams.

Bowling Woes

• In the nine games they have bowled first in, they have conceded a staggering 214 on average, with seven 200-plus totals (all above 180).
