Rajasthan Royals went on to secure a win over Lucknow Super Giants in their last game. With the team having one more match left in the league stages, they have made the playoffs race tighter. The final spot in the top four will be decided on the last day of the league stages.

The Indian Premier League gets more intense with each passing day. Three spots in the playoffs have been booked, and only one remains, for which five teams are still fighting. Yesterday, Rajasthan Royals went against Lucknow Super Giants in a thrilling encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

Rajasthan Royals didn't have a good start with the ball, but the team regained momentum in the death overs with the help of Jofra Archer. Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis gave a strong start, as Rishabh Pant finished the innings well, to ensure that the team reached the score of 220/5 in 20 overs.

In the chase, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi dominated the game well. Even after Jaiswal was dismissed for 43, Sooryavanshi went on to score 93 runs off 38 balls, accompanied by Dhruv Jurel who also scored a half-century. Rajasthan chased the target in 19.1 overs, as the final playoffs spot will now be decided on Sunday.

Here's how fans have reacted to RR keeping the playoffs race intense.

15 Year Old

Rajasthan Royals will just have to defeat Mumbai Indians to make it to the playoffs. This is all due to the fact that a 15-year-old kid decided to dominate the bowlers yesterday.

Same Energy

Ravindra Jadeja celebrated by putting a fist in front of the camera. This even reminded the fans of a meme that had gone viral on social media in the early days.
