• SRH’s remaining matches: GT, CSK, DC, RCB, KKR, MI, PBKS

Rajasthan Royals (3rd, 10 Points): Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been exceptional this season. They own the Orange Cap (Jos Buttler) and Purple Cap (Yuzvendra Chahal). With 5 wins in 7 games, RR need 3 victories in the remaining 7 fixtures.

• RR need to win at least three matches more to seal their deal.
• Three wins in the remaining seven matches can also see them through to the Playoffs with 14 points but they will need to have a better run rate.
