The IPL 2025 is back after a brief hiatus, and the race for the playoffs is heating up. Gujarat Titans are in a strong position with 16 points and just one win away from securing a spot in the top two. However, they might miss key players like Jos Buttler and Sherfane Rutherford due to international commitments. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings are also in contention, with RCB facing player losses like Romario Shepherd and Josh Hazlewood. Mumbai Indians have their fate in their hands with two crucial games left, but will miss Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks. Delhi Capitals need two wins to secure a playoff spot and will be without Mitchell Starc and Tristan Stubbs. Kolkata Knight Riders are on the brink of elimination, while Lucknow Super Giants face an uphill battle to qualify with a low net run rate. Aiden Markram’s availability for LSG is uncertain, but they will retain Mitch Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and David Miller. The competition is intense as teams battle it out for a spot in the playoffs in IPL 2025.
