Only Shimron Hetmyer, who scored 35 off 19 balls, and Joe Root, with 10 off 15 balls, managed to reach double-digit figures. The team's total of 59 runs was their second lowest in IPL history, narrowly surpassing their previous record of 58 runs against the same opponents in 2009, but by just one run.
Rajasthan Royals batsmen struggled to adapt to the slow and tricky pitch, often playing aggressive shots instead of showing patience and resilience. The batting collapse was described as inexplicable, as the team failed to offer any significant resistance and were unable to put up a fight in the face of a challenging target.
