RR hangs by a thread, GT-DC with one leg

In the IPL 2025, the remaining of about a month, it becomes important to see which teams can qualify for the playoffs.
So far, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has held 42 matches in 2025, and most teams have already played eight encounters. Gujarat Titans (GT) sits at the top of the points table with 8 matches and 6 wins in 12 points. And they are closely with Delhi’s capitals (DC) with several win in several matches.
Therefore, it becomes important to see what these teams need to do to qualify for IPL 2025 playoffs. Firstly, 16 points by any team will really guarantee them a place in the next round14 will also work, while 12 points are where NRR can come in the game. Insidesport takes a look at the scenarios for all teams.
Favorite for qualifying Gujarat Titans
Although the qualification has still not come, given the tremendous form of GT, they are most likely that the points will be finished in the top 2 of the table. In the remaining matches, from RR, SH, Mi, DC, LSG and CSK, even if they lose a couple, it will not harm their opportunities. Two more win will seal the deal for GT.
Delhi’s capitals will be the most likely
Two wins require all DCs with six matches remaining. If the team somehow loses the form and wins one of the next six matches, they will still pass. And this is why it is important to win under your belt in the first half of the tournament. They have RCB, KKR, SRH, PBK, GT and MI vs. matches.
MI revival appears
The team started a little slowly but won their last four matches. They can cut on their side with speed and seeing that they are still in the race. In fact, they would be preferred to cut, as they jumped on RCB, PBK and LSG, which also have 10 points. He needs to win three in the remaining five matches. Two wins can also be enough.
RCB in the race too
RCB has won all its matches away from home and has won the match for the last time at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Now, out of their remaining 5 matches, the side plays four at home. This may be worried for them. But still, even though they win the match two distance, they will have 16 points and will be in an excellent position to make the next round.
Toss between LSG and PBK
LSG and PBK are at every 10 digits. On paper, Punjab is a strong team and can be in the race, but continuity is important. Saying that, both teams need to win at least 3 matches to get a guaranteed location in the playoffs. But it is easier than it is said. Mi will give a big challenge for them.
KKR, SRH, RR, CSK not out, but highly impossible
These teams have clearly dug a large hole for themselves. While KKR is at 6 points, SRH, RR and CSK are at 4 on each. Theoretically, none of the teams is actually out, but given their poor performance, not much expectation is expected. Let’s put it directly. KKR needs to win at least 5 to live in a solid position, and the remaining three need to win each match and then hope that they are eligible.
