IPL 2025 Points Table, Top Batters, Top Bowlers, Team Rankings & Standing After IPL Today Match Update: Chennai Super Kings playoffs race is run as the MS Dhoni-led side were eliminated by the Punjab Kings after they lost 5 straight matches at the Chepauk. This was a new low for CSK as they were eliminated from playoffs contention in back to back seasons. Last season also, they were knocked out after a high profile loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh scored half centuries while bowler Yuzvendra Chahal snapped up 4 wickets, including a hattrick as Sam Curran’s 88 for CSK in the first innings went in vain. With the result, Punjab Kings went second in the table while CSK remained rooted to the bottom of the table.
On Tuesday, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders stunned the Delhi Capitals by 14 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to keep their slim chances of making it to the Indian Premier League playoffs alive. This was the fourth win of the season for KKR. Batting first on Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders managed to score 204/9 in their quota of 20 overs, thanks to Angkrish Raghuvanshi (44 off 32) and Rinku Singh (36 off 25). Mitchell Starc played his role for Delhi, ending with 3/43 on a night when his over saw three KKR wickets fall in three balls, including a run out. Starc also took a brilliant catch on the ropes. In response, Delhi Capitals folded for 190/9. Faf du Plessis (62 off 45) and skipper Axar Patel (43 off 23) were the pick of the batters in the chase. While they were in the middle, it felt like the hosts should get to the target comfortably. But Sunil Narine took 29/3 to weave his magic.
Here’s what the points table looks like after Punjab Kings eliminated the Chennai by 4 wickets in Chepauk:
