What are RR run chase issues in IPL 2025?
The Rajasthan Royals’ 2025 IPL campaign has been marred by inconsistency, particularly in chases. With only two wins out of eight matches and a net run rate of -0.633, the Royals find themselves near the bottom of the points table. A closer look at their defeats while chasing paints a worrying picture of repeated failures in pressure situations. So Let’s take a look at What are RR run chase issues in IPL 2025?.
One of the most glaring issues has been their inability to close out games from dominant positions. The match against Delhi Capitals, which ended in a tie before they lost in the Super Over, is a prime example. Needing just 9 runs off the final over with wickets in hand, the Royals failed to hold their nerve.
The next match against Lucknow Super Giants was even more frustrating for fans. Chasing a target of 181, RR were cruising with 25 runs needed from the final three overs and eight wickets in hand, including well-set batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag at the crease. However, a sudden collapse saw them fall short by 2 runs, underlining a recurring problem — poor game management in the final overs.
Mental fortitude and composure under pressure seem to be lacking. Despite having a solid batting lineup, including power hitters and young talents, the team has faltered in key moments. Their approach in the final overs often lacks clarity, oscillating between overly aggressive and overly cautious, which leaves them vulnerable.
Another concern is the middle-order inconsistency. Once the top order fails or slows down, the rest of the batting lineup seems unable to adapt quickly, leading to sluggish run-chases. Their decision-making and strike rotation, especially in the final overs, require urgent attention.
For Rajasthan Royals to turn things around in the remainder of the season, they must improve their finishing capabilities, trust their batting depth, and maintain composure during high-pressure chases. With games still to go, all is not lost, but a shift in mindset and tactical adjustments are critical.
