How RCB, Mumbai Indians can eliminate the top 2 in the playoffs after the continuous loss of Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans were shocked in a large scale in their dialect, going into the IPL 2025 playoffs in the top 2, as the Shubman Gill -led side slipped to a defeat against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Following this loss, GT is currently at the top of the table with 18 points out of 14 matches. However, Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore have a game in their hands, their fate in the top 2 race. If RCB wins his game against Lucknow Super Giants, they will definitely end in the top 2. In other matches, if PBKS defeated MI, they will end in the top 2. However, if MI defeated PBK, they would have 18 points – similar to GT – but they will thank you for a better net run (NRR) in the top 2.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni refused to confirm or refuse to refuse whether he would continue to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and said he would fix his future after taking the break.

The wicket-keeper batsman on Sunday signed his brief comeback for the captain for the Captain for a large-scale victory over the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Although CSK signed with a major win in his final league match, former India captain Dhoni was far away from his former self during IPL 2025.

He scored 196 runs in 14 matches of 24.50. His strike rate of 135.17 speaks that he was batting at a strike rate of 220.55 last season.

Dhoni claimed that he had ‘luxury of time’ to think about his future and decide in the coming months. If this was his last game, fans would be disappointed that he did not get a chance to bat despite being ready in his normal batting dress. He did not get a chance to impact the scoreboard.

“I have 4-5 months to decide, there is no hurry. The body needs to be kept fit.

This was certainly a season to forget for a five -time champion as they were subject to finishing their first bottom in the points table. With only four wins on the board, CSK will definitely see to continue from the final game and return to its normal self in 2026.

“When we started the season, four games were in Chennai. We decided to bat in second place, but I felt that the wicket was good for batting in the first innings. I was worried about the batting department. We could run the run on the board, but to fill some holes. I think I am old,” he said.
