Sportzpics[/caption] The Ajinkya Rahane-led side succumbed to their third loss in a row, after being hammered by Punjab at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday and now need to win all their remaining five matches to keep themselves alive in the tournament. Rajasthan have just six points with three wins from nine games while Punjab are placed third after six wins from nine games and 12 points in their kitty. Another win for Punjab will almost seal them a play-off berth and a defeat will be the end of the road for Rajasthan. Nothing has clicked for Rajasthan this season with all the departments failing to come together as a unit. Skipper Rahane has been average with the bat while all-rounder Ben Stokes and Rahul Tripathi have also failed to fire. Overall, Rajasthan will be hoping for a win against Punjab at home as two of the three victories have come. When and where will the KXIP vs RR, IPL 2018 match be played?
