IPL 2025 updated points table: CSK rise in standings despite consecutive losses, RR's first win throw this champion team at the bottom

Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lost their second consecutive IPL 2025 match as they were unable to chase a target of 183 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati on Sunday, March 30. While MS Dhoni came out to bat at number seven in the chase and scored 16 off 11 balls. Ruturaj hit an incredible 63 off 44 balls. The Yellow Army lost for the second time in three games as a result of the insufficient efforts of CSK's batters.

The dismal NRR of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) caused the table to change. Despite playing close, CSK now has two points with an NRR of -0.771. Before the game started, it was -1.013. After suffering their second loss of the season, SRH now has two points. In comparison to CSK, they have a larger (negative) NRR of -0.871. CSK keeps a watch on the NRR in light of the events in the 2024 Indian Premier League.

Despite having the same number of victories as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who finished in fourth place, CSK was eliminated from the league stage because of their subpar NRR. With two victories from as many games this season, RCB leads the IPL 2025 points standings. The Delhi Capitals are now in second place after winning both of their games. The Mumbai Indians are in last place after losing both of their games thus far. The only team in the competition without a victory is MI.
