Lucknow Super Giants, captained by Rishabh Pant, are ranked fourth. These four teams are a big contender for the playoffs.
Teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians are still in the race. At the same time, the playoff hopes of Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad are getting faster. Rajasthan has won only 2 matches out of 8, while CSK and SRH have won only 2 out of 7 matches. These teams will now have to win all the remaining matches to reach the IPL 2025 playoffs and rely on the net run rate.
Chennai and Hyderabad expectations alive
Chennai Super Kings, which starts the two with a winner with winning, still have 7 matches left. Playing 7 matches, the team has won 2 matches and scored 4 points. If the team wins all the matches, then it can have 18 points. The situation for Hyderabad is also exactly like Chennai. He also has a chance to score 14 points. It will not be possible to win all their matches because one match is to play with each other. In such a situation, one team will definitely get defeat. The matter is even more difficult for the Rajasthan Royals team. His exit is almost decided. The expectations of one defeat and playoffs will be over.
