Royal Challengers Bengaluru climbed to the top of the IPL 2025 Points Table after defeating Delhi Capitals, taking their tally to 14 points from 10 matches. Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, and Delhi Capitals closely follow with 12 points each. Punjab Kings remain in the race with 11 points, while Lucknow Super Giants must win all remaining games to stay alive. Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings face uphill battles, with RR and CSK almost out of playoff contention. As the league stage nears its end, every match is crucial in the thrilling IPL 2025 playoff race.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are struggling in IPL 2025, sitting 9th on the points table with just two wins in seven matches and a poor Net Run Rate of -1.217. Their playoff hopes remain alive but require a near-perfect run, needing at least five wins from their remaining seven games. Winning six would almost guarantee qualification, while winning all seven could even secure a top-two finish. Any more than three losses will end their chances. SRH faces tough upcoming fixtures, and their star players must step up. Owner Kavya Maran remains a passionate presence, symbolizing fans’ hope for a late comeback.
