Gujarat Titans stuck at only 72.52%, know who is the number 1 team in the race to reach the Indian Premier League playoffs
New Delhi . IPL 2026 has now reached that point where every match is changing the picture of the playoffs. On Saturday, Gujarat Titans not only registered a spectacular win by defeating Rajasthan Royals by 77 runs, but also secured second place in the points table. The team captained by Shubman Gill gave such a strong performance in this match, which increased the tension of the other teams. But the surprising thing is that despite such a big win, Gujarat Titans are considered to be the weakest contender in the race for the playoffs.
According to statistics, Gujarat Titans’ chances of reaching the playoffs are 72.52 percent, which is the lowest among the top-5 teams. While Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are ahead of them. This figure is certainly shocking for cricket fans, but the upcoming schedule of the teams is considered to be the biggest reason behind this.
SRH becomes the strongest contender
At present, Sunrisers Hyderabad seems to have the strongest position in the race for the playoffs. Hyderabad’s chances of reaching the playoffs are said to be 89.59 percent. Not only this, the probability of the team finishing in the top-2 is also more than 60 percent. Consistent balanced performances have made SRH the most dangerous team this season.

Punjab and Rajasthan are also in strong position
The chances of Punjab Kings reaching the playoffs have been estimated at 84.81 percent. The team has placed itself in a strong position by winning many close matches this season. Whereas Rajasthan Royals, despite the recent defeat, remains in the race with 80.31 percent chances. However, poor net run rate may prove to be his biggest weakness.

Close contest between RCB and GT
RCB’s chances of reaching the playoffs are 77.55 percent, while Gujarat’s are at 72.52 percent. There is not much difference between the two teams, but the remaining schedule of Gujarat is putting it in trouble. GT has to face strong teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in their last league matches. On the other hand, Rajasthan’s matches are against relatively weaker teams, due to which its chances are considered higher.

Chennai still alive in the race
Chennai Super Kings have made a comeback despite a bad start. The chances of the team reaching the playoffs are currently 38.81 percent. However, if Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team wins its remaining matches, the entire equation can change.
