Spot fixing in ipl: That was the year 2013 when S.K. of Rajasthan Royals. Some cricketers like Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila were found to be doing spot fixing in IPL. The TV replay clearly showed how a bowler goes ahead of the popping crease to deliberately no ball. He also indicates the fixer before throwing this no hair with the prescribed indications- such as wiping the face from the handkerchief or tying laces of shoes. The matter comes under suspicion. If there is an investigation, the heat from Jaipur reaches Chennai. In another case, Chennai Super Kings, captained by MS Dhoni, are also found guilty of similar spot fixing. Both teams are banned for 2-2 years. After two years, Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings return. After this, Dhoni’s team also becomes champion and is able to get his lost respect to some extent. However, this stain of fixing is going to be removed from Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Now in 2025, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were first out of the playoff race, and the era of spot fixing was remembered.
Two champions were out after losing 8-8 matches
Chennai Super Kings were first out of the playoffs in IPL 2025. CSK has lost eight out of its 10 matches and is at the bottom with four points in the point table. Despite a million attempts, CSK cannot reach the top-4. Rajasthan Royals had a fine ray of hope till May 1. This hope is also over after losing to Mumbai Indian. Now Rajasthan Royals have lost eight out of 11 matches.
Sunrisers Hyderabad at ICU
The remaining eight teams of IPL are still involved in the playoff race. However, the situation in Sunrisers Hyderabad is very critical. Understand it in ICU itself. She has lost 6 out of 9 matches and is at number nine in the point table. Also consider Kolkata Knight Riders as ill. He is also drip. Now the time will decide whether KKR can take out the drip and win all its matches by taking out the ground, because a single defeat will confuse it in Agra-Magar’s equation. He currently has 9 points from 10 matches.
Now who is ahead in the playoff race
6 teams are definitely present in the race of IPL playoffs. The most strong claim of these is from Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Both of them have achieved 14 14 in the int table. Another win will confirm their place in the playoffs. Punjab Kings are also in a strong position with 13 points. Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals are strongly present in this race with 12-12 points. Lucknow Supergiants have 10 points from 10 matches. If she also wins 3 out of the remaining 4 matches, then she will make it to the playoffs.
