Jabro patch stuck in IPL playoffs
A week ago, the road looked easy for teams like Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. After the defeat in the last match, the situation of Chennai and Lucknow has worsened. Delhi's victory has made its job easier while increasing the difficulties for the top team. After Kolkata and Rajasthan, two places are left in the playoffs. At present these three teams are on equal footing and anyone can be out.

Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals teams are on 12-12 points. CSK now has two matches left against Rajasthan Royals and RCB. Delhi will compete with Bengaluru and Lucknow.

If RCB loses to Lucknow team then its hopes of 16 points will also be shattered.
