New Delhi. Rajasthan Royals, who entered Eliminator 2 with the hope of reaching the final of the Indian Premier League, were disappointed. The team, which had started the tournament brilliantly, lost 4 out of the last 5 matches in the league stage. The team that defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore in Eliminator 1, fell to Sunrisers Hyderabad in Eliminator 2.

After the dismissal of captain Sanju Samson, the team had hopes from Riyan Parag but the way he lost his wicket proved to be the turning point.
