IPL Points Table 2025: Updated standing after Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
A blistering batting display led by Abhishek Sharma saw Sunrisers Hyderabad chase down Lucknow Super Giants' imposing 205/7 with ease, securing a 6-wicket victory at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on May 19th. Sharma's explosive innings set the tone, overshadowing Rishabh Pant's valiant effort for LSG. With that result fresh in everyone's minds, the focus now shifts to the crucial clash between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi tonight.As the league stage of IPL 2025 hurtles towards its climax, the points table is a fascinating mix of dominance and desperation. Shubman Gill's Gujarat Titans (GT) sit pretty at the summit with 18 points from 12 games, their consistency a testament to their well-rounded squad and astute leadership.
The Top Four: A Tight Squeeze
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are locked in a fierce battle for the second spot, both boasting 17 points from 12 matches. RCB's superior net run rate gives them a slight edge, but PBKS, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, have shown remarkable resilience this season. Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians (MI) are also firmly in contention, their impressive net run rate of +1.156 highlighting their destructive potential. With 14 points, they can't afford any slip-ups in their remaining games.
Delhi Capitals Dreaming of a Miracle
Axar Patel leading Delhi Capitals (DC) are clinging to the hope of a playoff berth, currently sitting fifth with 13 points. Their fate hinges not only on their own performance but also on the results of other teams. They need to win their remaining games convincingly and hope that some of the teams above them falter.
The Bottom Rung: A Season to Forget
For Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), this season has been a disappointment. LSG and SRH, despite possessing talented squads, have struggled to find consistency. Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are languishing at the bottom, their playoff dreams all but over. CSK's struggles, in particular, have been a shock to their fans, who are accustomed to seeing them dominate the league.
