The equation of the points table has become exciting. Barring Gujarat, almost all the other teams are in the race for the playoffs. After Kolkata's win, Rajasthan will have to win all their matches to qualify in the top-4.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by
seven wickets in IPL 2022 47th match. Not only KKR but the rest of the teams
have benefited a lot from this win. This is because the team of Rajasthan is
the top-4 team in the points table. If any team loses from the top, the teams
at the bottom of the points table will benefit and they will be able to present
a good challenge.Nitish Rana and Rinku singh Twitter/BCCI
With the victory over RR, Kolkata's team has now won four
matches in 10 matches, while they have lost six matches. With eight points, the
team is at number seven in the points table. At the same time, Rajasthan did
not suffer much loss and the team remains in third place. RR have won six out
of 10 matches so far and lost four. The team is in third place with 12 points.

The two new IPL teams have shown a great game so far and
occupy the first two places in the points table. Gujarat Titans are at the top
of the points table with eight wins and one loss from nine matches. They have
16 points and the team has almost qualified for the playoffs. It will also become
official if they win against Punjab on Tuesday. At the same time, Lucknow is at
the second position with 14 points and seven matches out of 10.
The top four teams will qualify for the playoffs. Then
Qualifier-1, Eliminator and Qualifier-2 will be played. This will be followed
by the title match on May 29. At present, the equation of the points table has
become exciting. Barring Gujarat, almost all the other teams are in the race
for the playoffs. After Kolkata's win, Rajasthan will have to win all their
matches to qualify in the top-4.
At the same time, the same equation is sitting with
Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi Capitals, Punjab and Chennai. If any team loses a
match, it will be in danger of being knocked out of the playoff race. It is
very difficult for Mumbai's team to reach the playoffs at the moment, because
even after winning all the matches from here, it will score only 12 points. At
the same time, Hyderabad and Bangalore need to win just one match to reach 12
points.
