INVC Sports Desk l New Delhi, April 15 l
As the IPL 2025 season hits its midway mark, the competition has intensified with the Gujarat Titans (GT) surging ahead on the points table. Under the calm and calculated leadership of Shubman Gill, the Titans have emerged as the team to beat, notching up consecutive victories that have given them a comfortable lead in the standings.
According to the official IPL website (iplt20.com), the Titans are currently leading the table with four dominant wins in their last five games. Their recent triumph against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) was a statement performance—crushing the Royals by 58 runs in Match 23.
🔥 GT’s Sudharsan Steals the Spotlight
Gujarat’s batting unit has clicked at the right time. In their latest fixture, Sai Sudharsan delivered a breathtaking knock of 82 off 53 balls, guiding his team to a massive 217/6. The bowlers backed it up with a clinical performance to bundle out Rajasthan for 159, sealing the game emphatically.
This win not only boosted GT’s Net Run Rate (NRR) but also exposed the vulnerabilities in Rajasthan’s bowling depth—a concern as they eye a playoff berth.
🏏 How Other Teams Are Faring
While GT continues to shine, traditional giants like Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are still in the mix, albeit without the dominance they’ve displayed in past seasons. Both teams have managed to stay within the playoff contention zone, but the margin for error is narrowing with each passing game.
CSK: Displaying flashes of brilliance but struggling with consistency in the middle overs.
MI: Relying heavily on individual brilliance rather than cohesive performances.
The Rajasthan Royals, after a strong start, have stumbled in recent outings. With back-to-back losses, they’ll need to reassess their strategy quickly to remain in the playoff race.
🔄 Current Top 4 (as of April 15, 2025):
Gujarat Titans (GT) – 10 points (NRR: +1.089)
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) – 8 points
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – 6 points
Mumbai Indians (MI) – 6 points
