But, they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Qualifier 2 after defeating Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Eliminator.
The 2008 IPL champions retained skipper Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep Sharma, and Dhruv Jurel ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction. In the IPL 2025 auction, RR acquired the services of players such as Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Nitish Rana, and Fazalhaq Farooqi, among others. They only managed to win three out of their 12 games before the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended the IPL 2025 owing to India and Pakistan's political turmoil. RR are already eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoffs race.
