At the top of the table is none other than KKR, which has been led in an extraordinary manner by Shreyas Iyer. They have covered all their bases and performed through the XI. They are clearly the team to beat in the tournament and Sunil Narine's return to form, coupled with his consistent performance with the ball, has taken his batting to an all-time high.
Sunrisers Hyderabad seemed to be back to their best and solved their woes of chasing a big total at the right time. SRH could easily chase down 215 thanks to Abhishek Sharma's blistering 50 and will be eyeing a play-off spot as Pat Cummins eyes another trophy.

Despite having a good start in the tournament, Rajasthan Royals lost four games on the fast track and finished third in the points table. Sanju Samson's team will be looking to get back into form in the eliminator if they are aiming for the title. However, with the absence of Jos Buttler and the uncertainty of some of the other overseas players, it will be difficult for RR to turn the tide.
Royal Challengers Bangalore achieved the impossible last night as they defeated Chennai Super Kings and moved up to fourth place in the points table to book the final play-off spot. Despite the unfavorable conditions, the Bangalore-based unit came together and put up a series of performances that helped them progress to the next stage of the playoffs.
