IPL 2025: Updated orange cap, purple cap & points table after DC vs GT clash

Gujarat Titans have become the first team to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs after a huge 10-wicket win against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Their victory also helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) book a place in the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals are now in a tough spot and might get knocked out as early as next Wednesday if results go against them.

Points Table After DC vs GT Match:
Three teams have now secured playoff spots – Gujarat Titans, RCB, and Punjab Kings.


(Q) = Qualified, (E) = Eliminated

Who Can Take the Last Playoff Spot?
There’s one playoff spot left. Mumbai Indians (14 points), Delhi Capitals (13 points), and Lucknow Super Giants (10 points) are still in the race.

Key upcoming match:

• Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals – Wednesday, May 21
  

If Mumbai Indians win, they will be favourites to take the 4th spot.
If Delhi Capitals lose, they will be knocked out of the tournament.

What LSG need to qualify:

• LSG must win all 3 remaining matches (against SRH, GT, RCB) to reach 16 points.
  
• PBKS must beat both DC and MI, so PBKS finish on 14 points.
  
• DC must beat MI, so DC end with 15 points.
