In another rain-affected match, the game between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in Guwahati was called off due to rain. Both teams were awarded one point each and this being the season's final game, Kolkata secured the top spot while the Royals slipped down to third following SRH's win.
With a miraculous job by the Guwahati groundsmen, the match officials immediately proceeded for the toss with a seven-over game in mind. In a brisk movement, the toss took place and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer decided to bowl first with the game set to begin at 10:45 PM IST
As the on-field umpires prepared to step onto the ground, unfortunately, the rain returned, causing further delay. With the cut-off time for a five-over game looming at 10:56 PM, all aspirations were shattered by the sudden resurgence of rainfall. Moreover, with the persistent on-and-off showers, the match was ultimately called off.
The league stage thus concludes with the washout, placing Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the top four spots. Kolkata Knight Riders, leading with 20 points, will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (17 points) in Qualifier 1 on 21st May at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Additionally, Rajasthan Royals, also with 17 points, will clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Eliminator game on 22nd May in Ahmedabad.

Just imagine
Imagine winning 8 out first 9 games and still ended up playing eliminator. Rajasthan Royals should be very disappointed with their performance in the 2nd half of the IPL. Might have lost the trophy.
