As far as IPL 2022 is concerned, both Mumbai Indians ad Chennai Super Kings are out of the playoff race following a rather forgettable season. They are placed at the bottom of the points table as well. On the other hand, newly entrant, Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are leading the chart with 9 and 8 wins respectively from 12 games so far and nearly sealed their place in the playoff as well. While all the other teams are still in the race, it will be interesting to see which teams qualify for the playoffs as well.
