IPL 2026 Points Table After CSK vs KKR
The tournament follows a format similar to the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League, with ten teams divided into two groups during the league stage. Each team plays the sides in its own group twice and faces teams from the other group once, ensuring all franchises meet while placing extra emphasis on group rivalries. At the end of the league phase, the top four teams advance to the playoffs. The top two teams compete in Qualifier 1 for a direct spot in the final, while the third and fourth-placed teams clash in the Eliminator, where the loser is knocked out. The winner of the Eliminator then faces the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2, with the victor securing the remaining place in the final. Standings are determined by points earned, with net run rate acting as the tiebreaker if needed. Currently, Rajasthan Royals lead the table with eight points, making a strong early impression.
