New Delhi: The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is currently underway, and a total of 10 teams – Mumbai Indians (MI), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC), Punjab Kings (PBKS), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) are fighting for each other.

At present, league stage matches are being played, and after that there will be playoff matches. But to decide who will play the playoffs, who will not have to resort to the point table, it is very important for any cricket lover to know which 4 teams will be at the top of the points table.

Actually, these 10 teams are divided into two groups, A and B… Group A has Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), and Group B has Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT).

In the league stage, each of the 10 teams will have to play 14-14 matches, out of which seven matches will be at home, and seven matches will be played on the home ground of another team. Each team will have to play only one match against each team in their group, but each team will have to face each team of the other group twice.

For example, Mumbai Indians (MI) in Group A will have to play only once each against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), but will face the five teams in Group B – Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT).

Similarly, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are in Group B, will have to play only one match each against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Gujarat Titans (GT), but they will have to face Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) twice.
