Season Overview

RR’s campaign began on a sour note with a crushing defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, conceding a massive 286 runs — the second-highest team total in IPL history. ^[21] Despite a commanding win against Punjab Kings in their fourth match, ^[22] RR's performance remained erratic. The team went on to lose five consecutive matches. ^[23] Some notable performances included Vaibhav Suryavanshi becoming the youngest and the fastest Indian player to score a century in IPL facing just 35 balls, leading the team to defeat the strong Gujarat Titans by chasing a total of 210 runs in just 15.5 overs. ^[24] However, they suffered a significant loss to Mumbai Indians by 100 runs in the next match, which effectively ended their playoff hopes. ^[25]
