RCB Playoffs: All the teams are giving tough competition to each other to reach the IPL 2024 playoffs (IPL 2024 Qualification Scenarios). On one hand, the players are performing brilliantly to help their team win, on the other hand, now the RCB fans are sitting with pen, paper and calculator. It is noteworthy that RCB has played 5 matches so far in which they lost only 4 matches.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is struggling with the form of its players this season too. Only Virat Kohli is working for the team from one side but he is not getting support from any player. The team’s batting and bowlers are divided. RCB had faced Rajasthan Royals in their previous match. In this match, Bengaluru batted first and scored a big score on the basis of Kohli’s century. Apart from Kohli, no batsman played.

RCB suffered a crushing defeat from Rajasthan Royals in the last match.

At the same time, due to the defeat that Rajasthan Royals has given to RCB bowlers while chasing the target, Kohli will think that his century has been wasted. This is being said because Rajasthan’s Jos Buttler was not in form this season, so it was easy for RCB to dismiss him. But luck changed as Butler came in form and scored another century and led his team to victory.

After the defeat in this match, RCB is at 9th position in the points table with only 2 points. Now the question to think is that if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs, do they have that time left? So let us tell you that, yes Bengaluru can still make it to the playoffs.

RCB has lost 4 out of 5 matches played so far and the path to the playoffs is becoming difficult. At the same time, RCB now has only 9 matches left. Currently the team is at 9th position in the team points table with 2 points. To enter the IPL playoffs, any team will have to win at least 8 matches. That means if you win so many matches then you will get a total of 16 points.

RCB has already won one match and has to win 7 more matches. It is not enough for Bengaluru to just win, the net run rate will also have to be good so that it can easily enter the playoffs. If they win all the remaining 9 matches then the team can directly enter the play-offs without any problem. At present all the teams are performing well. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see what strategy RCB makes.

You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket.
