In the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), all 10 teams have played their first matches. Some teams are looking strong due to their performance, while many teams have to improve their performance a lot. Let us see which teams have made it to the top 4 in the points table after the match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday?
1-Rajasthan Royals (RR) Present in the first place in the marks table. RR had defeated CSK by 8 wickets in their first match.
2-Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Occupies second place. In its first match, RCB defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 6 wickets.

4-Mumbai Indians is in fourth place. Mumbai defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets.
5-Punjab Kings is in fifth place. Punjab had defeated Gujarat Titans by 3 wickets in their first match.
These teams have won the 5 matches played so far and all have 2-2 points. The place in the points table has been decided on the basis of run rate. Gujarat Titans (GT) are at sixth, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at seventh, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at eighth, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at ninth, and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at tenth. All these five teams have lost their first match. Their place in the points table has also been decided on the basis of run rate.
The tournament is very long. Even the first stage has not been completed yet, so all the teams have a chance to improve on their weaknesses and reach the top position. It remains to be seen whether the teams present in the top-4 retain their positions in the future, or whether other teams make their place.
