In the ongoing IPL 2024 season, a total of 56 matches have been played so far, intensifying the race for playoffs among all teams. The final showdown of the 17th season, which commenced on March 22, will take place on May 26 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. However, no team has secured its place in the playoffs yet. Meanwhile, Hyderabad’s recent win has caused some shifts in the points table. Let’s take a look at which team is currently leading the pack.
Top of the Table: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
As of now, the Kolkata Knight Riders have emerged as the top team in the IPL 2024 points table. With 16 points, KKR has almost secured its spot for the playoffs. The team has three more matches to play, with the first one scheduled against Mumbai on May 11, followed by matches against Gujarat and Rajasthan on May 13 and 19 respectively.
Teams Close to Playoffs
In the IPL 2024 points table, the Rajasthan team holds the second position. With 16 points and a net run rate of +0.476, Rajasthan is yet to qualify for the playoffs but is very close. The team has three more matches to play. Meanwhile, the Chennai Super Kings hold the third position in the points table. So far, they have won six out of their eleven matches played.
Mumbai Out of Playoff Race
On the other hand, the five-time champion team Mumbai has not performed up to the mark this season. Having played 12 matches, Mumbai’s chances of making it to the playoffs seem slim. Even if they win their remaining two matches, it won’t be enough to improve their position in the points table. Consequently, Mumbai is likely to miss out on the playoffs this year. Additionally, teams like RCB, Punjab, and Gujarat are trailing at the bottom of the points table with eight points each.
As the IPL 2024 season progresses, the competition among teams continues to intensify, promising more thrilling encounters ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on the points table and exciting matches to come!
