Qualification Impact (Standings Only)
In IPL, the top 4 teams in league standings qualify for the playoffs. Gujarat Titans’ consistent higher placements afforded them regular playoff berths. In contrast, LSG’s mid-table finishes in recent seasons (especially 2024–2025) meant they missed playoffs, impacting their campaign length and competitiveness.
Net Run Rate (NRR) Explained (Fan-Friendly)
Net Run Rate is essentially a measure of dominance — calculated as:
(Runs scored per over by team) − (Runs conceded per over)
A positive NRR means a team scored faster/more efficiently on average than opponents; a negative NRR means the opposite. It often decides playoff qualification when points are tied.
For instance:
- GT’s ability to pile up wins and maintain a strong NRR helped secure higher standings.
- LSG’s fluctuating results may have led to a less favorable NRR compared to rivals.
