Rajasthan Royals bowling coach Shane Bond has given up on the team’s hopes of making it to the IPL 2025 playoffs. RR are currently at the 9th place on the points table, with 4 points from two wins out of 9 games. Ahead of the team’s tie against GT on Monday, Bond admitted that the season is all but over for Parag and co.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Bond admitted that the season was over for the team in terms of points table. However, he emphasized on the need to finish the season on a high note.
“I suppose that’s what hurts us. We’re 2 (wins) and 7 (losses), and go, jeez, where we could sit on the table, but there’s nothing we can do about that now. We’re probably out of the tournament in terms of the points table, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot to play for,” Bond said.
RR have been boggled by Sanju Samson’s injury and their inability to close down on run-chases. Parag and co. have choked at situations when a win was just two or three hits away.
“At the end of the day, the first fight was to get to the playoffs. We’re not going to get to the playoffs now. So I think you have to identify that and be honest with that… We haven’t been good enough so far, but that doesn’t mean we’re not determined to get out there and get stuck over the next four or five games. That’ll never change,” Bond added.
