NDTV
CSK, DC, and RCB are under the scanner as the battle for the top-four spot intensifies.
The IPL 2024 mid-table muddle has become more intriguing as struggling Gujarat Titans beat a much-settled Chennai Super Kings by 35 runs in Ahmedabad on Friday, May 10. Even after almost 60 matches in IPL 2024, only one of the 10 teams have secured playoffs berths, and it's Kolkata Knight Riders. In contrast, Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings have been eliminated from the race after a disappointing show this year. After Gujarat's morale-boosting win in match 59, the tournament is now wide open as teams like Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Gujarat Titans still have the opportunity to finish in the top four.
CSK and DC who are sitting on 12 points each after as many games are separated only by NRR. Whereas, RCB have been in scintillating form with four consecutive wins to keep their playoff hopes alive. After seven losses out of eight games in the first half of the tournament, the Faf du Plessis-led side has made an impressive comeback to register five wins in 12 games so far.
As CSK, DC, and RCB prepare to play their 13th league game on Sunday's double-header, let's have a look at what these three sides need to do to make the IPL 2024 Playoffs.
