Here in this article, we will do in depth analysis about which Team who is most likely to qualify for Top 2 Position in Marquee event to be shared in detail one by one in the below format:
Considering by the Points table, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore looks rock solid when it comes to qualifying for playoffs and subsequently reaching towards Top 2 of Mega event as these two franchise have played some of the best cricket in the business.
Gujarat Titans have played 12 matches where they won 9 games and lost 3 matches which makes them stand at the top of points table with 18 points with an impressive net run rate of 0.795.
Below them team like Royal Challengers Bangalore is sitting fairly where they have played 12 matches where they won 8 games and lost 3 matches with 1 no result significantly make stand at 2nd position on points table with 17 points and impressive run rate of 0.482.
There are teams like Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, who are currently sitting at 3rd and 4th place with 17 and 14 points but all they need to do, is win their remaining games and hoping that top 2 teams can lose their remaining games.
The reason why most teams want to finish in Top 2 position, even if they lost 1st match in Qualifier 1 they still have chance to redeem themselves for Qualifier 2 where they can correct their mistake and comeback stronger for Playoffs.
IPL 2025 Best Team for A Reason:
If you closely observe, the best team of this tournament have been the ones sitting at top 4 position on points table Let’s dwell deep into details about each franchise to be shared in the below format:
1. Gujarat Titans: Gujarat Titans have been brilliant side for IPL 2025, credit should be given to all the stakeholders who have worked hard behind the scenes to make them a dominatable force.
Captain Shubman Gill, Coach Ashish Nehra should be complemented by the way they have operated so far in marquee event.
Going by their approach looks quite escatic, especially the way all players are communicated behind the scenes about their role and this can be perfectly summed up by the statement given by Jos Butler who said in a video shared on Titans social media handle where he said “Titans dressing room has been pretty chilled and credit should be given to Gill and Nehra who have kept things simple and told me from Day1 that we are expecting you to bat at number 3 slot considering the experience I possess in the arsenal and our openers are doing pretty well”
The last match which Titans won against Delhi Capitals by 10 wickets showcases their strength and grit as a team and they certainly look one of the best teams of this tournament to lift tournament.

2.. Royal Challengers Bangalore:
The team is on the mission, to relinquish all bad memories where they have failed to win Marquee event so far, but the current leadership change under Rajat Patidar seems to be working in their case and they deserve praise for it big time.
Coach Andy Flower along with Dinesh Karthik and Mo Mobat as director of cricket have ticked all the boxes and gave players best enviornment where they can accelerate their game against distinct opposition in order to cement their name in Champions arena.
Virat Kohli have been brilliant at the top complemented brilliantly by Rajat Patidar in the middle also having someone like Tim David and Liam Livingstone makes it even more pleasing for RCB in the ongoing event.
3. Punjab Kings:
They say, there is no fluke if you are reaching in the playoffs for back to back season there is something special store in you, it shouldn’t be neglected but KKR had some other plan, they let go of their last year champion skipper Shreyas Iyer who was picked by Punjab Kings.
His brilliant camaraderie with Coach Ricky Ponting seems to be working for Kings big time, and they are already in the Playoffs.
The role assigned to distinct team members is clear for all to watch and observe, and players have desire to make sure, franchise win IPL title for the record first time.
If Punjab Kings lift title this year, it would put Iyer into distinct pedestal, and he will fall in category of those leader who have successfully led Punjab Kings in back to back season. which is no mean’s feat at all.
4. MumbaI Indians: One team who certainly stand at the top of pedestal when it comes to IPL, is none other than Mumbai Indians as the ace team have already won IPL title for record 5 times, and their connsistency in the ongoing IPL clearly means that, they are here to not just qualify for Playoffs but also do wonders as team who can possibly go on to win IPL title.
Hardik Pandya who were subject to abuse last year after he was assigned captaincy duties for Mumbai Indians in place of Rohit Sharma, finally found his voice now as he successfully united entire Mumbai Indians team where they are eyeing on title.
The Bumrah’s comeback, Surya Form, Rohit as top order batter makes things easy for Indians in the ongoing marquee event.
They certainly have all the ingredients in their arsenal in order to win IPL title.
There are questions which some of the teams who are equally decorated but failed to produce consistenct performance when it mattered the most.
Teams like CSK, SRH, LSG, KKR and RR have so much work to do when they step on for next season.
