IPL 2025 Points Table on 29 March After CSK vs RCB! Check Updated Players with Orange Cap and Purple Cap
IPL 2025 Points Table: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued its impressive form in the IPL 2025 season, securing a commanding 50-run victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. This win helped RCB retain its position at the top of the points table with two consecutive victories.
On the other hand, the defeat proved costly for CSK, as they slipped from fourth to seventh place in the standings with just one win from two matches. The match was a high-stakes encounter, and RCB’s all-round performance ensured they maintained their dominance early in the season.
The game saw standout performances from Rajat Patidar, Tim David, and Josh Hazlewood, who played crucial roles in RCB’s emphatic win. Patidar provided stability in the middle order with a well-crafted innings, while Tim David’s explosive hitting in the death overs helped RCB post an imposing total.
Hazlewood was lethal with the ball on the bowling front, dismantling CSK’s top order and ensuring the chase remained out of reach. CSK, despite playing at home, struggled to counter RCB’s disciplined bowling attack and eventually fell short by a significant margin.
The loss was a major setback for CSK, as their net run rate took a considerable hit, causing them to drop three spots in the standings. The team will now have to regroup quickly and work on their inconsistencies, especially in the batting department.
With a long tournament ahead, they still have time to bounce back, but losing a home game so early in the season could prove to be a psychological blow. Meanwhile, RCB's balanced approach with both bat and ball has made them early favorites for a strong campaign.
Elsewhere, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) registered their first win of the season with a five-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, which propelled them to second place in the standings. This highlights the unpredictability of the tournament, where every match significantly alters the points table.
With several teams still finding their rhythm, the IPL 2025 season has already showcased intense competition, setting the stage for many more thrilling encounters in the coming weeks.
