IPL 2026: The excitement of IPL 2026 is continuously increasing. So far 40 matches have been played in the tournament and the battle for the playoffs seems to be getting more interesting with every match. In the match played in Mullanpur on 28 April, Punjab Kings had to face defeat by 6 wickets at the hands of Rajasthan Royals. This was Punjab’s first defeat this season.
However, the tournament is currently at such a stage where no team can be considered completely out. IPL is called a game of uncertainties and the equations keep changing after every match. Usually 16 points are considered safe for the playoffs, but sometimes teams have reached the next round even with 14 points. In such a situation, let us understand how many wins each team needs to remain in the race for the playoffs.
punjab kings
Punjab team is currently in a strong position in the table with 13 points. If the team gets 2 or 3 wins in its remaining matches, then the playoff ticket can be considered almost certain.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB currently has 12 points in its account. The team will have to register at least 2 to 3 wins in its remaining matches to reach a safe position.
Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan has collected 12 points after playing 9 matches. At least 2 wins in the remaining 5 matches will be very important for the team to maintain its hopes of making the playoffs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Hyderabad has won 5 out of 8 matches so far and has 10 points. If the team wants to move ahead without depending on any other equation, it will have to win at least 4 more matches.
Gujarat Titans
Gujarat has performed equally well so far and has won 4 in 8 matches. To remain strong in the playoff race, the team may have to register 4 or 5 wins in its remaining matches.
Chennai Super Kings
Chennai has won only 3 out of 8 matches. Now every match will be do or die for the team. To reach the playoffs, CSK will have to win most of its matches and also have to maintain a better net run rate.

The situation in Delhi is also similar to Chennai. The team has registered only 3 wins so far and the road ahead does not look easy. Continuous wins will be necessary to maintain playoff hopes.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata team has been able to achieve only 2 wins so far. The team will now have to win almost every match to reach 16 points.
Mumbai Indians
The start of Mumbai Indians was also not as expected. The team has registered only 2 wins in 7 matches and will now need to win almost all the matches to move ahead.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow team is at the bottom of the points table. The team faces a difficult challenge with only 2 wins in 8 matches. If you want to make it to the playoffs, you will have to win all the remaining matches.
