The race for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs has entered an exciting phase. Two big matches were played recently — Gujarat Titans (GT) secured win in the first, while Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the second.

These results have added new momentum to IPL 2025 points table.

Currently, Gujarat Titans lead the points table, followed by Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Lucknow Super Giants. Based on current form and points, these four teams are strong contenders to reach IPL 2025 playoffs.

However, the competition isn't over yet. Teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians are still in the hunt.

A few key wins in the coming matches could tilt the balance in their favor.

In contrast, the playoff hopes of Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are fading fast. Rajasthan has won only 2 out of 8 matches, while both CSK and SRH have registered just 2 wins in 7 games.

For these teams, making it to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs will now require a near-perfect run and favorable results from other matches.
