In the IPL 2024 Eliminator, Rajasthan Royals won the match by four wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Having opted to bowl first, RR bundled up RCB for 172 runs for the loss of eight wickets. 

Despite having a disappointing IPL 2024 season, premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin showcased his exceptional skills with the ball. The spinner claimed two wickets for 19 runs in his four-over spell. Rajasthan as a whole displayed outstanding performance in all departments. Following that, Ashwin while speaking to Star SportsCricket Live said, "No, look, I think we are a team that doesn`t like uncertainty. It`s the month of May. We may win or we may lose. We hadn’t won anything in May yet, and I kept saying that. It`s very tough when you lose key players like Jos Buttler and have Shimron Hetmyer injured. It`s like running an auto with only two wheels, which is quite tough. Tom Kohler-Cadmore had to step in, and I thought he filled in pretty well today. It`s not easy for these boys who are relatively inexperienced. We made some rookie errors while chasing that 170 today, but that`s the beauty of it. They might go into the next game with no baggage, and somebody could play the match-winning knock. That`s probably both our strength and our Achilles` heel.”
