Rajasthan's team has lost the match to Bangalore and now its chances of reaching the playoffs are also over. Meanwhile, the biggest villain of Rajasthan Royals' defeat has become Shimron Hetmyer, whom the team has retained for a hefty amount of 11 crores.

Rajasthan has faced defeat in another match of IPL. The team was in a very strong position at one time and it seemed that it would win the match, but after this such a fall of wickets started that the team ultimately lost. Now the path to playoffs is completely closed for Rajasthan, whatever possibilities were there, they are also over now. Meanwhile, the biggest culprit and villain of this defeat of Rajasthan has again become the same player, who has been continuously playing the role of a villain. We are talking about Shimron Hetmyer, who flopped this time too. 

RCB scored 205 runs while batting first

Batting first, RCB scored 205 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in this match. This is RCB's highest score against Rajasthan. Bangalore had never scored so many runs against Rajasthan before. Still, this is a score that could have been chased. When Rajasthan's team came out to chase this score, they had a good start. Yashasvi Jaiswal was in his element and young Vaibhav Suryavanshi also played some good strokes. The team crossed the 50-run mark in just four overs. But then Rajasthan's first wicket fell at a score of 52. Vaibhav returned to the pavilion after scoring 16 runs. 

Rajasthan's wickets kept falling continuously

After this, small scores came, but there was not a single innings that could win the match. However, the team continued to score runs at a fast pace. But Shimron Hetmyer failed. He could score only 11 runs in 8 balls in this match too. He has been given the role of a finisher. But he is failing every time. He is needed in every match and he fails on the occasion. While he is a retained player of Rajasthan Royals, the team has spent a huge amount of Rs 11 crore on him. Even after this, he is not able to succeed. 

Now the way to playoff is closed for Rajasthan

Rajasthan team has won only two out of 9 matches, the team has only four points. Now the team has only 5 matches left. Even if all these matches are won, the total points will be only 14, which will not be enough to take them to the top 4. This means that Rajasthan is almost out of this year's IPL. The team is currently at the eighth position, but it is difficult to say when it will go down further.
