IPL 2025 Playoffs Scenario For All 10 Teams After KKR vs DC Match

Kolkata Knight Riders' victory over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League has thrown the playoffs qualification race wide open.

The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured a morale-boosting victory against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 campaign on Tuesday. Delhi, one of the most consistent sides this season, has now lost three of their last five matches, showing signs of nerves in the decisive stage of the campaign. DC's defeat against KKR creates a lot of room for permutations and combinations to decide which four teams will seal a spot in the playoffs. Had the result gone the other way, the teams in the bottom half of the points table would've received a significant blow. IPL 2025 POINTS TABLE.- RCB remains at the Top. pic.twitter.com/I72NbJO0ID

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB): With 14 points already in their kitty, the Rajat Patidar-led franchise is pretty close to confirming a playoffs spot. But their real battle is to cement a top-2 spot in order to get a couple of chances for final qualification. With 4 games remaining, RCB only need to win 2 of these games to be assured of a top 4 spot.

Mumbai Indians (MI): With 6 wins in 10 matches, MI sit second in the points table. What's most impressive is that the Hardik Pandya-led side has won 5 matches on the trot. 3 wins from the remaining 4 matches will guarantee them a top 4 spot but 2 wins are also likely to be enough.

Gujarat Titans (GT): With 6 wins in 9 matches, Gujarat have been one of the most in-form and consistent sides this campaign. With 5 games to go, the Shubman Gill-led side only needs to win at least 2 of these games to seal a top 4 spot. Three more wins in the remaining league games would guarantee them a top 4 finish.

Delhi Capitals (DC): With 4 defeats in their last 6 matches, Delhi Capitals do find themselves in a spot of bother. Thanks to their excellent start to the campaign, however, the Axar Patel-led side is still placed 4th in the points table. They need at least 2 more wins from the remaining 4 league games in order to be in control of the top 4 race.
