The Punjab Kings have made a significant jump in the IPL 2025 points table after their recent victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders on April 15. In a thrilling match at the New PCA Stadium, the Kings managed to secure a 16-run win in a low-scoring encounter.
With this crucial win, the Punjab Kings have now climbed to the fourth position in the IPL 2025 standings. Led by Shreyas Iyer, the team now has eight points from six matches. While Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru also have eight points each, the Kings find themselves in fourth place due to their superior net run rate.
On the other hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders have slipped from fifth to sixth place in the points table following their defeat against the Punjab Kings. Despite having a chance to break into the top four with a win, the defending champions fell short in their chase of a modest 112-run target.
Looking ahead, the Punjab Kings will be gearing up to face the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their next match on April 18. Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders will have a home fixture against the Gujarat Titans on April 21 as they aim to bounce back from their recent setback.
In another exciting fixture, Axar Patel’s Delhi Capitals will be facing off against the Rajasthan Royals on April 16. After slipping from the top spot to second place following a loss to the Mumbai Indians, DC will be eager to reclaim their position at the summit of the IPL 2025 points table with a win over RR.
On the flip side, the Rajasthan Royals have been struggling with back-to-back defeats against the Gujarat Titans and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With only four points from six matches, RR will be looking to turn their fortunes around and avoid slipping further down the table with a strong performance against DC.
As the IPL 2025 season continues to unfold, the battle for supremacy in the points table intensifies with each match. Fans can expect more thrilling encounters and shifts in the standings as the competition heats up.
