IPL Points Table 2025: Updated team standings after Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings

IPL Points Table 2025: In a nail-biting encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru edged out Chennai Super Kings by a mere 2 runs. RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, posted a formidable 213/5 in their 20 overs. CSK fought valiantly but fell just short, finishing at 211/5. This victory propelled RCB to the top of the IPL 2025 points table, but the race for the playoffs remains incredibly tight. Let's take a closer look at how the teams are shaping up:

The Contenders: Bengaluru Roaring, Mumbai and Gujarat Lurking

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are currently leading the pack with 16 points from 11 matches, boasting an impressive 8 wins and a healthy net run rate of +0.482. Rajat Patidar's captaincy seems to have galvanised the team, but the real test lies ahead as they navigate the pressure of maintaining their position. Virat Kohli's consistent performance is a big boost for the team.

Mumbai Indians (MI) remain a formidable force. Hardik Pandya's men have 14 points from 11 games and a net run rate of +1.274, the best among all ten teams, indicating their dominance in victories. Their strong batting lineup, spearheaded by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, make them a threat to any opposition.

Gujarat Titans (GT), under the leadership of Shubman Gill, also have 14 points from 10 matches. Their net run rate of +0.867 is a testament to their all-round strength. GT's ability to perform consistently under pressure make them a strong contender for a playoff spot.

The Chasing Pack: Punjab and Delhi in the Hunt

Punjab Kings (PBKS), captained by Shreyas Iyer, are currently in fourth place with 13 points from 10 matches.

Delhi Capitals (DC), led by Axar Patel, are also in contention with 12 points from 10 games. Their net run rate of +0.362 indicate a well-balanced team capable of both scoring big and restricting opponents.

Mid-Table Muddle: Lucknow and Kolkata Need Momentum

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) find themselves in a precarious position. LSG, with Rishabh Pant at the helm, have 10 points from 10 matches, while KKR, led by Ajinkya Rahane, have 9 points from the same number of games. Both teams need to find consistency if they hope to sneak into the playoffs. SRH, on the other hand, have six points from 10 encounters and can't afford to make any further mistakes in their remaining encounters.

Struggling at the Bottom: Rajasthan, Hyderabad, and Chennai Face Uphill Task

Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are languishing at the bottom of the table and are already out of contention.
