IPL 2025 Playoff Scenarios: CSK Out of Race; Here's where Others Stand!
@Source: deccanchronicle.com
Chennai Super Kings became the first team to fall out of contention for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs as Yuzvendra Chahal performed a hat trick in Punjab Kings’ four-wicket win on Wednesday.Here's where nine other teams stand:Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Sitting comfortably on top of the points table RCB is poised to make it to the playoffs. They have won seven out of 10 matches (14 points) and winning just two of the four remaining games would cement their place in the top four.Punjab Kings: With 13 points and six wins of 10 matches the Shreyas Iyer-led side is eyeing their playoffs berth. Winning 2 more matches would seal their spot but one victory out of the next four might also get them through the line.Mumbai Indians: Winning five matches in a row, Mumbai Indians had done what they do best - 'bouncing back'. With 12 points already of 10 matches, the five-time champion side is just two wins away to secure their spot in the next round. They are to face Rajasthan Royals next.Gujarat Titans: The Shubman Gill-led side is currently placed comfortably with six wins from nine matches (12 points), and it needs just two victories from their remaining five fixtures to reach the magical 16-point mark -- good enough to secure the qualification for playoffs.Delhi Capitals: After an excellent start to the season, Axar Patel-led side is going through a rough patch as they've lost four of the last six matches. Nevertheless, with 12 points of 10 games, they are 2 points away to remain in the top four bracket. Lucknow Super Giants: With 10 points of 10 matches, LSG is still technically in the race. But its a Herculean task as the Pant-led side needs three wins out of their four remaining matches to make for the playoffs.Kolkata Knight Riders: Narine put in a fine all-round performance to keep holders KKR alive for playoffs contention with a tense 14-run win over Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. However, they face a challenge as the Rahane-led side requires at least 3 wins of the 4 remaining games to qualify.Rajasthan Royals: With only six points after playing 10 matches, RR is virtually out of the race but mathematically still in the race. If the inaugural champion side manage to win all their remaining games they would reach the magical 14 points figure but their chances would depend on other factors such as strike-rate and other top teams performance. Sunrisers Hyderabad: Hyderabad have slipped into a precarious position and face a must-win scenario. Last year's runners-up, known for their explosive brand of cricket, have faltered badly -- managing just three wins from nine matches and dropping to ninth place on the points table. Another defeat would all but knock them out of playoff contention. They must win all the remaining matches (5) to qualify for playoffs.Chennai Super Kings: With just two wins out of ten matches, Dhoni-led side is ruled out of the playoffs race. In a poor run this season, they have lost all their home-games (yet) this season.
