New Delhi. After the playoff battle is over, the Indian Premier League 2025 has become more interesting. Now the 4 teams that have qualified for the playoffs are struggling to come to the top-2 and the teams below are enjoying spoiling the game. Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) did the same on Thursday. Rishabh Pant's team is already out of the playoffs but by defeating Gujarat Titans (GT), it has also spoiled its game to a great extent. When LSG defeated Gujarat, two teams would have been happier than its players. These teams are Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). Let's know why this happened.

Now it is not hidden from anyone that four teams have qualified for the playoffs of IPL 2025. These teams are Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians. Now there is a battle going on among these four teams to reach the top-2. The advantage of being in the top-2 is that even if it loses one match in the playoffs, it gets a second chance to reach the final.
