New Delhi. The Royal Challengers Bangalore team has created history this time and made it to the playoffs. After losing six matches in a row, RCB became the first team to progress in the IPL with a single match win. Virat Kohli’s dream of winning the trophy for the first time may be fulfilled but IPL rules seem to be coming in the way. The Rajasthan team will benefit from this rule if the situation arises to use it.
One of the most talked about teams in the Indian Premier League right now is Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore. The way a team has come back after losing 6 consecutive matches has never happened in the history of the tournament till date. The team secured the playoff ticket by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the last league match. RCB managed to outclass Chennai on the back of a superior net run rate.
Will RCB be eliminated without playing?
So far this season, several league matches have been canceled due to rain. Gujarat Titans team has suffered the most due to this. Rain completely destroyed his half-baked playoff hopes. The match between Rajasthan and Bangalore is to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. If this match is rained, RCB team may be out without playing the eliminator.
What are the rules of IPL?
In fact, the IPL Governing Council has not reserved a day for qualifiers and eliminator matches. In such a situation RCB will suffer if rain spoils the match. If rain interrupts the match, the match official will certainly try to make the match a minimum of 5 overs. If this is not possible then the decision can be taken by super over. If even 1 ball is not bowled in the match then the team which is in better position in the points table will go ahead.
