These four teams have shown the consistency, class, and nerves of steel needed to navigate the packed league stage. Let’s dive deeper into how each side earned its ticket to the playoffs.
1. Punjab Kings – Table Toppers With Grit
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) surprised many by finishing first in the IPL points table 2025. With 9 wins, 4 losses, and 1 no result, PBKS collected 19 points and claimed the top spot with a solid net run rate. Their win against Mumbai Indians in Match 69 by 7 wickets was the icing on the cake, showcasing depth, balance, and bold captaincy.
Shreyas Iyer’s leadership has been spot-on. PBKS used their bench strength wisely, even fielding six uncapped players in the last league game and still winning it comfortably. Their youthful squad looks fearless and fired up for the playoffs.
2. Royal Challengers Bengaluru – A Team Reborn
RCB fans, it’s time to dream again. Royal Challengers Bengaluru have turned their fortunes around in IPL 2025 with back-to-back solid performances. Their recent chase of 230 against LSG in just 18.4 overs was a statement. With 19 points and a healthy NRR of +0.301, they sealed the second spot, just behind PBKS.
RCB’s away form has been top-notch, with seven away wins, a testament to their solid mindset and team chemistry. Their strong batting order and newfound composure in pressure games make them serious contenders this season.
3. Gujarat Titans – Still in the Hunt
Despite a few stumbles late in the group stage, Gujarat Titans (GT) managed to hold onto third place with 18 points. Led by Shubman Gill, GT has been a well-rounded unit. The explosive trio of Sai Sudharsan, Gill, and Jos Buttler gives them the ability to chase or set big targets.
Though they missed out on a top-two finish, they’ll now play in the Eliminator, giving them one last shot to reach the final. If GT hits their stride, no one can stop their march.
4. Mumbai Indians – Late Bloomers Strike Again
The five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) had a slow start, but they know how to peak at the right time. With 8 wins and 6 losses, they edged out Delhi Capitals on net run rate and grabbed the fourth and final playoff spot.
Hardik Pandya’s side has been dangerous in recent matches. Suryakumar Yadav’s incredible 640 runs this season have been a game-changer. They may be fourth on the table, but MI is never to be underestimated in knockout games.
