IPL 2025 Points Table: Gujarat Titans Soar, Delhi Capitals Chase Close Behind – As IPL 2025 rolls past the halfway mark, the points table is beginning to shape the playoff narrative. The Gujarat Titans are leading the chart with 8 points from 6 matches, having clinched four wins and only two losses. Their strong Net Run Rate (NRR) of +1.081 reflects their dominance, especially with wins over top teams like RCB, SRH, and KKR.
Delhi Capitals, despite suffering their first loss recently to Mumbai Indians, are hot on their heels with 8 points and a superior NRR of +0.899. With a balanced team led by Axar Patel and young guns like Karun Nair and Abishek Porel performing, they remain title contenders.
RCB and LSG: Strong Contenders
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) both sit with 8 points each as well. RCB have looked dangerous in away matches, particularly with Virat Kohli and Phil Salt delivering consistent performances. However, their home form continues to be a concern.
LSG, with an all-round approach and impact players like Nicholas Pooran and Avesh Khan, have bounced back strongly after a mixed start. Their narrow win against CSK pushed them into the top four.
Middle Pack: KKR, PBKS
Kolkata Knight Riders (6 points) and Punjab Kings (6 points) occupy the fifth and sixth spots respectively. KKR have shown flashes of brilliance, especially from Sunil Narine and Rinku Singh. PBKS have been unpredictable but continue to fight hard with emerging stars like Priyansh Arya.
Struggling Bottom Half: MI, RR, SRH, CSK
Mumbai Indians’ win over DC was a much-needed morale booster. They now sit seventh with 4 points, the same as Rajasthan Royals. However, MI’s poor bowling in key moments continues to hurt them.
Rajasthan Royals have shown glimpses of brilliance but lack consistency. The return of Jofra Archer has been positive, yet the support cast hasn’t fired.
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings are in deep trouble. With just 2 points each from six matches, their NRRs (-1.245 for SRH, -1.554 for CSK) are the worst in the league. Both sides will need a near-perfect second half of the season to stay in the playoff hunt.
