The IPL 2026 table has a new look after a crucial clash at Chepauk! The Chennai Super Kings, fueled by a dominant home performance, have shaken up the standings with a commanding 32-run victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders.

This win was vital for CSK's campaign, lifting them off the bottom and into eighth place. With two wins from five matches, they now have four points as they look to build momentum. For KKR, however, the search for a first win continues. Rooted at the bottom with just a single point, they face an uphill battle to revive their season.

At the summit, the Rajasthan Royals continue to set the pace, looking every bit the title contenders with four wins. Hot on their heels are the Punjab Kings and a formidable Royal Challengers Bengaluru side, whose explosive batting has given them the best net run rate in the league so far.

The middle of the table is a logjam, with four teams—Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, and Lucknow Super Giants—all locked on four points. Every run will count here, as net run rate currently decides their order. Further down, traditional powerhouses like Mumbai Indians find themselves in an unfamiliar ninth position, highlighting just how competitive this season has become.
