Now, after seven games, Royals find themselves in the lower half of the table. So how did their campaign go so far?
Hits
Jofra Archer had a nightmare season and admitted 76 runs in his 4 overs against SRH. It was the most expensive charm in the history of IPL when he went in his first two games without a goal.
But since then, Archer has looked close to its best. In PowerPlay he bowed great and was one of the few clear places for RR in the last matches.
Missing
In addition to Archer, the bowling line -up looked everywhere.
Tushar Deshpande escaped running and Sri Lankan Spin Duo from the Maheesh Theekshana and Wanid Hasarang did not approach the replication of the success that Chahal and Ashwin brought to the team.

Riyan Parag, who was expected to build on his last season, did not issue, and Jurel also did not meet expectations.
Play -off forecast
In order to realistically qualify for Play -off, Royals had to win six of their remaining seven matches – a high task.
Although it is not impossible, the chances of such a turn are slim. The fact that things are RR would need something close to a miracle to stay alive in the Play -off place.
