Rajasthan Royals had a major boost after Chennai Super Kings lost their penultimate IPL 2026 fixture to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk on Monday.
RR now remain at the level (12 points) with CSK, with one match in hand. Winning the remaining two games would take the Riyan Parag-led side to 16 points, which would be a must to keep the playoff hopes alive, though their fate depends on other teams as well.
Rajasthan will host Lucknow Super Giants in their final home fixture of the season on Tuesday, May 19, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
