Watch: Rajasthan Royals troll Punjab Kings with the savage social media post after booking their IPL 2026 Playoff spot  

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) didn’t waste much time to troll the Punjab Kings’ earlier tweet during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 as they sealed the fourth and final spot of the Playoffs after a strong 30-run victory against the Mumbai Indians at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. 

That victory pushed the Royals to the fourth position of the table with eight victories in 14 clashes at a net run rate of +0.189. The win also knocked the Punjab side and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) out of the Playoffs race.

It was May 01 when the Rajasthan side faced the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL 2026 encounter at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The visitors completed a fine 226-run chase by seven wickets and five balls to spare. Punjab, who wasn’t even involved in the game, tweeted ‘sorry bhai, aj nahi.’
