Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore occupy the next two spots in fourth and fifth with 10 points each. PBKS, who had a chance to climb up the points table, still sit in seventh spot with 8 points, below Delhi Capitals, who also have same number of points, but a better NRR.
Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have suffered back-to-back defeats to take the eighth spot with just 6 points on board. However, they are better off than the most successful sides in the IPL.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings and record champions Mumbai Indians sit at the wrong end of the table. Five-time champions MI sit at the foot of the table with no wins in 8 matches, while four-time winners CSK occupy the ninth spot with 2 wins in 8 matches.
