Gujarat Titans’ aspirations at the top end of the IPL 2025 took a significant intervention after they suffered a large 83-run defeat Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. The dominant performance of Chennai was led by impressive halves since Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis.
Despite failure, Gujarat Titans remains at the top of the point table with 18 points of all 14 of their league matches. However, their net rate of running made a considerable blow and their position remained vulnerable to the last round of league accessories. To stay in the first two, GT now depends on the Royal Challengers Bengalur (17 points), who will lose his last match against Lucknow Super Kings. The bets are high because the Indians from Bombai (16 points) or Kings Pandjab (17 points) will skip GT with victory in their upcoming clash.
IPL 2025, GT vs CSK: The most important
It is remarkable that all four playoffs have been confirmed, with seven matches still remained in the league phase-it happened in the history of IPL. Yet, with four matches to be played and every team tied to the playoffs that will appear, the Top-DVA goal is far from over. Securing one of these places would provide a major advantage: two opportunities to achieve the finals. Here’s what each of the four teams has to do to seek this position.
Gujarat titans
Points 18 | NRR +0,309
- Gujarat Titans (GT) are currently at the top of the point table.
- But after they have lost their last two games on LSG and CSK, they can no longer complete No. 1.
- Pandjab Kings (PBKS) VS Mumbai Indians (Mi) will go to the first place and push GT down on Monday.
- If RCB beat LSG on Tuesday, GT will drop further to 3 or 4.
- If RCB loses, GT will end up on No. 2, behind the winner of the PBKS-MI match.
Pandjab kings
Points 17 | NRR +0,327
Mumbai Indians
Points 16 | NRR +1.292
- PBKS vs will be played in Jaipur on Monday.
- The winner moves to No. 1, before Gujarat Titans (GT).
- Loser cannot end up in the first two.
If PBKS wins:
- They will be guaranteed by a top surface.
- They remain No. 1 if the RCB does not beat LSG of a sufficiently large margin to pass them on at a clean running speed.
If he wins me:
- They will also go to 18 points.
- However, they will go to No. 1 for a better clean run than GT.
- Then RCB can overtake me and complete No. 1 by defeating LSG.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Points 17 | NRR +0.255
- Remaining match: vs LSG, Lucknow
- If RCB wins, it will end up in the first two.
- If PBKS beat me, RCB will have to win a sufficiently large margin to complete No. 1 at a clean running speed.
- If he beat my PBKS, then any victory for RCB will take them to the top of the table.
- If RCB loses with LSG, it will end the third or fourth.
