Rajasthan Royals’ head coach Rahul Dravid was left helpless after his team suffered their sixth defeat in the ongoing IPL 2025. Lucknow Super Giants’ pacer Avesh Khan defended nine runs in the final over, leading to a wild celebration from owner Sanjiv Goenka while Dravid looked on in despair. Despite a strong start in the chase of 181, Rajasthan faltered in the end, losing key wickets and eventually falling short by just two runs. The defeat highlighted Rajasthan’s struggles in the tournament, with four losses coming in chasing scenarios. Stand-in captain Riyan Parag expressed disappointment and emphasized the need for the team to perform collectively for the full 40 overs to secure a win. The Royals will need to regroup and put together a solid performance in the second half of the IPL to turn their season around.
