How was the performance of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 (Rajasthan Royals Performance in IPL 2025)

The Rajasthan Royals entered IPL 2025 under the captaincy of Sanju Samson. Samson missed several matches due to injury, so Riyan Parag took over the team's captaincy. Rajasthan's performance was poor overall, winning only four of their 14 matches and losing 10. Last-placed CSK won the same number of matches, but a slightly better net run rate (-0.549) helped them avoid a last-place finish. Rajasthan acquired a valuable player in Vaibhav Suryavanshi, and only after his arrival could Rajasthan make a significant impact in the final stages.
