Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans (GT) stormed to the top of the IPL 2025 points table following a commanding 58-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 9. This emphatic win marks their fourth triumph in just five matches, taking them to 8 points — two ahead of Delhi Capitals (DC).
Not only are the Titans leading the standings, but they’ve also built a formidable net run rate of +1.413, giving them a significant edge as the season progresses.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals (DC), often known for inconsistent performances in previous seasons, have surprised everyone by climbing to the second spot of the IPL 2025 standings with an unbeaten streak.
Delhi Capitals Break the Curse and Dominate IPL 2025
Delhi Capitals extended their dream run in TATA IPL 2025 with a dominant 6-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 10 in Chinnaswamy stadium. Chasing 164, KL Rahul dazzled with an unbeaten 93 off 53 balls, expertly guiding the chase. Tristan Stubbs chipped in with a cool-headed 38 off 23*, as DC sealed victory with 13 balls to spare—marking their best-ever IPL start with four wins in a row.
Under the leadership of Axar Patel, the Delhi Capitals has won all four of its opening matches and currently holds 68 points with a strong Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.278.
The standout moment came when DC ended a 15-year losing streak against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 5. With a commanding performance led by KL Rahul’s 77-run knock, Delhi secured a 25-run victory, marking their third consecutive win of the season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Downfall: From Fearless to Faltering
At the other end of the table, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are facing a nightmare season. A team once known for its fearless brand of cricket is now languishing at the bottom. With just 1 win in 5 matches, SRH finds itself in 10th position, with an alarming Net Run Rate of -1.629.
Their recent defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) marked their fourth consecutive loss, exposing the lack of consistency in their top-order. Players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan have underperformed, leaving the team struggling to find momentum.
Bottom Three: Big Names, Small Returns
The bottom three teams of IPL 2025 currently include some of the most popular franchises:
Mumbai Indians (MI) – 8th position, 2 points, NRR: -0.010
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – 9th position, 2 points, NRR: -0.889
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – 10th position, 2 points, NRR: -1.629
Each of these teams has managed just one win so far, and time is ticking to turn things around.
Here is the IPL 2025 points table today (as of April 9, 2025)
