KXIP playoffs chances
Out of the five teams, Rohit Sharma led-MI stand slightly ahead with 14 points from 12 games. The other four teams all have 10 points apiece. But Kolkata and Rajasthan are on the backfoot as they have played 12 games as compared to SRH and KXIP's 11. So, while KKR and RR must win all their remaining matches to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot, SRH and KXIP have more room to play with.
