IPL 2025: 4 teams that can reach playoffs

The competition for playoff positions in the IPL 2025 season is heating up and promises to be an exciting display of skill and strategy. Teams fighting for qualification have continuously shown that they are resilient, flexible, and driven to succeed, proving that they can perform well under duress and in critical situations.

Consistency and perseverance pave the way to the playoffs. Top competitors are teams that strike a balance between quick bowling, powerful batting, and tactical awareness. The battle for a coveted postseason berth is turning into an exciting show for spectators as both seasoned players and up-and-coming talents stand up.

So today, we will take a look at 4 teams that have the best chance of qualifying for the playoffs in IPL 2025.

Here are the 4 teams that can reach the IPL 2025 playoffs:

1. Gujarat Titans (GT)

Gujarat Titans are currently at the top of the IPL 2025 points table with 12 points from 8 games and 6 wins. Their NRR is +1.104, and this alone is enough for them to qualify. GT also needs only 2 wins in their next 6 games to reach 16 points and make it into the top four.

Gujarat Titans are buoyed thanks to their excellent batting lineup of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Jos Buttler. Their bowling is headed by Prasidh Krishna with amazing support from Mohammed Siraj and R. Sai Kishore. The outstanding thing for GT has been their consistency. Maintaining their form and capitalizing on their NRR advantage will ensure they remain favorites for a top-two finish.

2. Delhi Capitals (DC)

Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals have stunned one and all. They are second on the IPL 2205 points table with 12 points from 8 matches, thanks to 6 wins. Their net run rate is 0.657. They are also in the same boat as GT and need only 3 wins to secure their place in the top four with 18 points to their name. The batting of KL Rahul has been a highlight of Delhi Capitals, as, free from the captaincy burden, the batter has shown excellence.

He has 210 runs in 7 games and has gotten support from Abishek Porel (154) and Tristan Stubbs. Even Axar Patel has scored well with 108 runs to his name. Bowling is led by Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav with 11 and 12 wickets each. Their ability to adapt to different challenges and maintain their NRR advantage will be key to sealing their place in the playoffs.

3. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

With 10 points from eight games, RCB, captained by Rajat Patidar, has an NRR of +0.472. They must win three of their final six games to advance. Although their strong away performances have been a highlight, they must improve their record at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB is yet to win a game at home this season.

Virat Kohli with 230 runs and Rajat Patidar with 146 runs have led the batting charts, while Josh Hazlewood with 12 scalps and Krunal Pandya with 10 wickets have led the bowling accolades. Upcoming matches against RR, DC, CSK, LSG, SRH, and KKR present opportunities for RCB to showcase their resilience. Dominant victories will increase their NRR in addition to their point total.

4. Mumbai Indians (MI)

After a sluggish start, the Mumbai Indians have recovered admirably, winning three straight games. They need to win four of their next six games to stay in the race with eight points and an NRR of +0.483. Important players have stepped up at pivotal times, fueling their comeback.

MI's remaining schedule consists of matches against DC, SRH, LSG, RR, GT, and PBKS. To keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive, they will need to keep up their momentum and win significant games. Suryakumar Yadav (333) and Tilak Varma (231) are the leading run scorers, while Hardik Pandya is the leading wicket-getter with 11 scalps thus far.
