New Delhi. The team whose exit from the Indian Premier League 2024 was the first to be reported has miraculously secured its ticket to the playoffs. After losing six consecutive matches, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team made a strong comeback and won six matches and made it to the next round. The team took steps towards winning the trophy by defeating defending champion Chennai Super Kings in the last league match. Even after reaching the top four, the difficulties for the team have not reduced. At present it is not decided who RCB will face in the playoffs.
Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore made the impossible possible and secured a place in the playoffs by defeating a powerful team like Chennai. Impossible because after losing six consecutive matches, no team has reached the next round by winning the same number of consecutive matches. By completing this task, RCB has created history. After reaching the playoffs, the big problem facing the team is that it is not yet decided for which team it should prepare. A decision is yet to be taken on which team they will face in the playoffs.
Which team is at which number in the playoffs?
Four teams of IPL 2024 playoffs have been finalized but it has not been confirmed which team is at which position. Kolkata Knight Riders team has 19 points and will remain in the first place. Competition is going on for second and third place. Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have to play one match each. If both the teams win their last match or both lose then there will be no difference in the points table. Rajasthan will be at second place and Hyderabad will be at third place.
What is the equation of playoff?
If Kolkata team beats Rajasthan in the last match and Hyderabad wins its last match against Punjab then the matter will be reversed. Rajasthan team will reach third place and Hyderabad will reach second place. The first and fourth place teams of the playoff have been decided and the decision is about the second and third places.
With which team RCB can compete?
Rajasthan Royals team has lost 4 consecutive matches and the top team in front of them will be Kolkata. In such a situation, considering the form, Sanju Samson's team has little hope of victory. If the team loses, it will slip to third place. Hyderabad has to play against Punjab which is out of the tournament. The team is expected to win. According to the equation, it is almost certain that RCB will face Rajasthan. However, if the equations are reversed then Hyderabad team may face it in the eliminator also.
