IPL 2025 Playoff Schedule, Venues, Dates, Format, and All You Need To Know!
TATA IPL 2025 has witnessed the conclusion of the league stage with a record-shattering chase by RCB, and all eyes are now on the Playoffs of the prestigious tournament. We have our top four teams that have qualified for the playoffs of the tournament. We have fixed venues and all that remains is the action for the coveted trophy.
Conducting a big tournament like the IPL was a challenge in itself. A tournament of 10 teams, players from all around the world, a three-month-long league, and 70+ matches in 12 to 14 venues, and if it wasn't enough, we saw the suspension of the tournament amid some escalating border tensions with Pakistan.
However, not for too long, and just after a week, IPL restarted, and now with all the league stage matches being played, we have our top four teams for the playoffs.
