Every team in the IPL is in a position where it is difficult to say which four teams will qualify for the playoffs.
The points of the first three teams in the points table are 16, 13 and 11 respectively and the number of points of the team from number four to number 8 is 10 respectively. And the remaining two teams scored eight points.
We can finally confirm Gujarat Titans who are number one in the points table for the playoffs. And the remaining three groups are completely uncertain. Six teams played a total of 11 matches and the remaining four teams played ten matches each.
So from this position, if the teams at the bottom of the points table do well in the last three matches, they will be far ahead to qualify for the IPL. So far the IPL has retained its charm.
