Delhi Capitals have shown great form this season, with only two losses in their first seven matches. With a net run rate of +0.589, they’ve been able to capitalize on their batting depth and solid bowling attack. Their recent victories have given them a boost, and they’re looking like a team that could challenge for the top spot.

Recent Form:

  • L, W, L, W, W

Key Player: David Warner’s consistency at the top of the order has been vital. Alongside him, the fiery pace attack led by Kagiso Rabada has kept opposition batters in check.


3. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) – 10 Points (5 Wins, 3 Losses)

RCB has had a rollercoaster ride this season, with both highs and lows. Despite being in the middle of the table, they are in a strong position with 10 points. Their NRR of +0.472 is decent, and they’ve been able to hold their ground in tough matches. They’ve alternated between wins and losses, but their ability to bounce back after a defeat speaks volumes about their resilience.

Recent Form:

  • W, L, W, L, W

Key Player: Virat Kohli, ever the consistent performer, has been their anchor at the top of the order. His form, along with Glenn Maxwell’s explosive middle-order batting, has provided RCB the balance they need.


4. Punjab Kings (PBKS) – 10 Points (5 Wins, 3 Losses)

Punjab Kings are also in the mix with 10 points, having won five of their eight matches. Their NRR is slightly lower than RCB’s at +0.177, but they’re still very much in the hunt. PBKS has shown great promise this season, especially with their aggressive batting lineup, though they’ve faltered at times when chasing big totals.

Recent Form:

  • L, W, W, L, W

Key Player: Shikhar Dhawan’s steady presence at the top of the order has been crucial. Alongside him, the hard-hitting players like Liam Livingstone provide the necessary firepower in the middle.


5. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – 10 Points (5 Wins, 3 Losses)

LSG has proven to be a strong contender this season. With 10 points and a solid NRR of +0.088, they’ve kept themselves in the mix for the playoff spots. The team has been highly competitive, and their batting unit has been the driving force behind their success, with several players contributing significantly in different matches.

Recent Form:

  • W, L, W, W, W

Key Player: KL Rahul’s leadership and consistent batting at the top of the order have been key for LSG. His calmness under pressure has been evident, and his partnership with Quinton de Kock has often laid a solid foundation.


6. Mumbai Indians (MI) – 8 Points (4 Wins, 4 Losses)

Mumbai Indians, traditionally one of the strongest teams in the IPL, have had a mixed start to the 2025 season. With a 50% win rate, they’ve shown glimpses of their old self but have also been inconsistent. Their NRR of +0.483 suggests they’re in the hunt, but they need to string together a few more wins to remain in contention.

Recent Form:

  • W, W, W, L, L

Key Player: Rohit Sharma’s leadership is always an asset, but it’s the form of Jasprit Bumrah with the ball that has given MI an edge. If the batting clicks, they’ll be a force to reckon with.


7. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – 6 Points (3 Wins, 5 Losses)

KKR has had a tough time so far, sitting at 7th with just three wins in eight matches. Their NRR of +0.212 is positive, but the team’s inconsistency is evident. If they’re to turn things around, they’ll need to find a way to perform consistently across all departments.

Recent Form:

  • L, L, W, L, W

Key Player: Andre Russell has been the player to watch for KKR. His explosive batting and crucial wickets can turn a game on its head, but he needs more support from the rest of the team.


8. Rajasthan Royals (RR) – 4 Points (2 Wins, 6 Losses)

Rajasthan Royals have had a rough season so far, sitting in 8th place with just two wins out of eight matches. Their NRR of -0.633 is one of the worst in the league, and they’ll need to win most of their remaining matches to have any chance of making the playoffs. Their batting lineup, once their strength, has been inconsistent, and they’ll need to turn things around quickly.

Recent Form:

  • L, L, L, L, W

Key Player: Sanju Samson’s leadership is being tested, and his batting needs to fire for the Royals to have any hope of recovery. They’ll also need their spinners to make an impact.


9. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – 4 Points (2 Wins, 5 Losses)

SRH has found themselves struggling with just two wins from seven matches. Their NRR of -1.217 is the worst in the league, and they’ve looked out of sorts in both departments. They’ll need a drastic turnaround in form to make a late push for the playoffs.

Recent Form:

  • L, W, L, L, L

Key Player: Aiden Markram’s leadership is under scrutiny, and his batting is crucial. The middle order has struggled, and if they can’t recover, SRH will likely remain at the bottom.


10. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – 4 Points (2 Wins, 6 Losses)

CSK, like Rajasthan Royals, have had a disappointing start, with only two wins in eight matches. They’re languishing at the bottom of the table with a negative NRR of -1.392. With the legendary MS Dhoni at the helm, CSK is always a threat, but they’ll need to find some form quickly to stay relevant this season.

Recent Form:

  • L, W, L, L, L

Key Player: MS Dhoni’s leadership is always crucial, but the team will need more from Ruturaj Gaikwad and their bowlers if they’re to make a comeback.


Looking Ahead:

As we approach the mid-stage of the season, it’s clear that the competition is fierce. Gujarat Titans lead the pack, but teams like Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings are not far behind. On the other hand, teams like Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Chennai Super Kings will need to pick up the pace if they want to avoid an early exit from the tournament.

The next few weeks will be crucial in shaping the playoff picture, with teams needing to find consistency if they want to stay in the hunt for the title. The IPL 2025 is certainly living up to its reputation as one of the most exciting T20 leagues in the world!
