IPL 2023 Playoffs Scenario: The excitement of IPL 2023 is at its peak. 65 out of 70 matches of the league stage of Season-16 have been played, but the names of the playoff teams have not been cleared yet. Defending champions Gujarat Titans are the only team that has managed to make it to the knockout stage so far, with three playoff slots still vacant. RCB’s win on Thursday has added another tinge of excitement to the points table and now there are 5 big and total 7 contenders for these three slots. Yes, let’s know about them in detail-

Chennai Super Kings: First of all, let’s talk about CSK on the second rung of the points table. It is almost certain that Chennai Super Kings will reach the playoffs. Dhoni Bridget has to play his last match against Delhi Capitals. If CSK wins this match, then it will easily reach the playoffs with 17 points, while losing will still have a chance to reach the playoffs.
If CSK loses its last match, then it will pray for the defeat of one of the teams Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore. If this is possible then Chennai will qualify for the playoffs, otherwise CSK may also be out of the tournament.
RCB did that feat, which even Virat Kohli did not expect, himself made a shocking disclosure
Lucknow Super Giants- Talking about LSG, he has to play his last match against Kolkata Knight Riders. By winning this match, Lucknow can reach the playoffs with 17 points, while after losing, their fate will be in the hands of MI and RCB.
If either Mumbai Indians or Royal Challengers Bangalore lose their last match, then Lucknow will qualify for the playoffs, while a win for MI and RCB could see LSG ousted.
CSK’s claim strong in the race of IPL 2023 Qualifier-1, this is the condition of RCB despite the win
Mumbai Indians- Rohit Sharma & Brigade’s last match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Even if Mumbai wins, they will have to pray for RCB’s defeat. Actually, MI’s net run rate is very low and it remains the biggest problem for them. RCB’s net run rate is currently 0.180 while MI’s is -0.128. At the same time, after losing the last match, the doors of Mumbai’s playoffs will be closed.
Royal Challengers Bangalore- The fate of RCB, which is running in excellent rhythm, is still in its hands. Bangalore’s last match is at home against table toppers and defending champions Gujarat Titans. If Bangalore wins this match, then it will directly reach the playoffs, while their chances will remain intact even after the defeat. In fact, if Lucknow Supergiants beat Mumbai Indians, MI will also end up at 14 points and RCB will get a playoff ticket due to better net run rate.

Rajasthan Royals- The doors of Sanju Samson’s team are still not 100% closed. Rajasthan’s last match is against Punjab. RR can reach 14 points by winning this match. If Mumbai and Bangalore get defeated in their last match, then Rajasthan’s chances of reaching the playoffs will increase. If Gujarat registers a big win over RCB and Bangalore’s net run rate reaches below Rajasthan, then in this situation Rajasthan will reach the playoffs.

Chances of Punjab and Kolkata are very less. Punjab and Kolkata still have a chance to reach 14 points. Dhawan’s team faces Rajasthan while Kolkata faces Lucknow Supergiants. Even if both the teams win their last match, they will be left behind due to net run rate. Only some charisma can take these two teams to the playoffs.
