IPL 2026 | Can Rajasthan Bowlers Turn Around Their Performance?

Rajasthan Royals remain in a must-win situation as they fight to keep their playoff hopes alive in the ongoing Indian Premier League season. Much of the team’s campaign now hinges on the explosive form of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has crossed 500 runs in just his second IPL season and is firmly in the Orange Cap race. His partnership with Dhruv Jurel has been one of Rajasthan’s biggest positives. However, inconsistent lower-order performances, questionable bowling management, and skipper Riyan Parag’s underwhelming form have hurt the side at crucial moments. Adding to the pressure, the franchise has also found itself amid controversy over a vaping-related incident.
