Hockey India League Points Table on January 26: Hyderabad Toofans jumped three spots in the HIL men's standings after a comprehensive win over UP Rudras at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on Saturday (January 25).

UP Rudras, on the other hand, retained top four status despite the defeat. In the first fixture of Saturday's double-header, Tamil Nadu Dragons failed to extend their lead on top of the standings following a surprise 2-4 loss to seventh-placed Team Gonasika.

Following the two results, Kalinga Lancers edged closer to joining the two bottom-placed sides - Gonasika and Delhi SG Pipers out of the semi-final race. Rarh Bengal Tigers, who dropped to fourth, will look to claim pole position and seal a semi-final spot when they resume HIL action on Monday (January 27).

In HIL 2024/25, each team will battle every other team in the first phase of the tournament, before the eight teams are divided into two groups of four teams each in the second phase, where each team will play the other team of their respective group once to decide the top four, who will play the knockout rounds.

In total, each team will be playing 10 matches each in the league stage of the tournament with the top four after the two phases heading into the knockout round that includes the semi-finals followed by the third-place playoff and the title clash.

The league phase, which started on December 28, 2024, will conclude on January 29, 2025 before the knock out round kicks off on January 31 with the two semi-finals followed by the third-place playoff and the final on February 1, 2025.
