As the IPL 2025 league stage enters the business end, the race for qualification is intensifying for every team. If 16 points are considered the benchmark for playoffs, teams are now calculating not just wins but also Net Run Rate (NRR) and their opponents’ matchups. While Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are just one step away from stealing the spotlight, giants like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are already out of the race.

Despite being second on the table, PBKS still need two wins from four matches to comfortably qualify. NRR may come into consideration for their qualification.
