Rajasthan Royals managed to pull off a sensational two-run heist over Punjab Kings, but it did not help them to climb to the top half of the Indian Premier League 2021 Points Table. With the win, RR picked two points, taking their tally to four points in eight games.
RR reached the fifth position in the table, while PBKS slipped to the 7th position in the table with 6 points in 9 games - tied on points with Kolkata Knight Riders. But due to a negative Net Run Rate, PBKS are below KKR at this point.
Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Mumbai Indians retain their top four slots, respectively.
