IPL 2021 points table

RCB's win over RR on Thursday takes them to the top of the IPL 2021 points table. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have 6 points each but it is the Men in Yellow who are second on the points table due to a better net run rate than Delhi Capitals. Defending champions Mumbai Indians are fourth with 4 points and have an opportunity to leapfrog Delhi Capitals to the third spot if they beat Punjab Kings by a huge margin. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad are 5th on the points table and are followed by Kolkata Knight Riders on the 6th spot. Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals take the 7th and 8th spots on the table respectively. A win for Punjab Kings over Mumbai Indians will see them climb to the 5th spot for the time being.
