Thu Mar 27 17:30:00 UTC 2025: ## KKR’s Win Fails to Boost IPL 2025 Standings; Sunrisers Hyderabad Lead
**Mumbai, March 27** – The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season continues to unfold with shifting team standings. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured their first win on Wednesday, defeating Rajasthan Royals, but remain outside the top five. This victory, however, did little to improve their overall position due to a negative net run rate.
Sunrisers Hyderabad currently tops the points table, boasting the best net run rate. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) holds the second position, despite having the same two points as several other teams. Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings, and Delhi Capitals follow closely behind, all with two points and positive net run rates. KKR is in sixth place, while Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians occupy the seventh and eighth spots, respectively. Gujarat Titans sit in ninth, and Rajasthan Royals languish at the bottom of the table after suffering two consecutive defeats under captain Riyan Parag.
Six teams have at least one win under their belts thus far in the tournament. The close competition and fluctuating net run rates highlight the unpredictable nature of the IPL 2025 season.
