IPL 2024: Royal Challengers Bangalore has made it to the playoffs this time by creating history. RCB became the first team to advance in the IPL after losing six consecutive matches. Virat Kohli's dream of winning the trophy for the first time can be fulfilled but the rules of IPL may come in the way.
One of the most talked about teams in IPL at the moment is Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore. The way a team has made a comeback after losing 6 consecutive matches is unprecedented in the history of the tournament. The team won the playoff ticket by defeating Chennai Super Kings in the last league match. RCB managed to move ahead by defeating Chennai on the basis of better net run rate.
Will RCB be out of IPL without playing?
So far this season, many league matches have been canceled due to rain. Gujarat Titans team suffered the most loss due to this. Rain dashed its playoff hopes. The match between Rajasthan and Bangalore is to be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. If this match gets washed out due to rain then RCB team can be out without playing the eliminator.
What are the rules of IPL?
The IPL Governing Council has not kept any reserve day for the qualifier and eliminator matches. Meanwhile, if rain disrupts the match, it will be a loss for RCB. If it rains in the match, the match officials will try to make the match of 5-5 overs. If this is not possible, then the decision can be made by a super over. If not even 1 ball is bowled in the match, then the team which is in the best position in the points table will move ahead.
