There has been a huge shuffle in the points table in last couple of days. Kolkata Knight Riders have clinched the top position from Delhi Daredevils. Today's win for Rajasthan Royals against Pune Warriors take them in top four and Chennai Super Kings slides down to fifth position. Following is the current points tally:-

If Royal Challengers Bangalore or Kings XI Punjab manage to win their next match, Chennai will further slide down in the points table. One of these two viz. Kings XI Punjab plays Deccan Chargers today.

Deccan Chargers have won just two out of their eleven matches but their batting has been outstanding so far. Thanks to Cameron White, Shikhar Dhawan and Kumar Sangakkara, this batting line up has piled up loads of runs. But their major problem is bowling department and hence they have failed to defend big totals. Plus playing at home tonight will add more pressure to the Deccan's team.

Kings XI Punjab on the other hand has a more balanced side. Batting relies a lot on Shaun Marsh, David Hussey, Mandeep Singh and Azhar Mahmood. Inclusion of Ryan Harris to the bowling line up has boosted the team's confidence. Piyush Chawla, Parvinder Awana and Praveen Kumar are already doing a good job for Kings XI Punjab.

Deccan Chargers were not impressive enough in this season to proceed to the next round. They never looked like doing that. Two wins in a row in last two matches against Pune Warriors and Mumbai Indians is something to cheer about for them.

On the other hand, Kings Eleven Punjab has certainly added flavour to this year's IPL with their astonishing performance in the second half of IPL. After World Cup 2011, this year's IPL lacked lustre. But KXIP's will to reach the play offs have added enthrallment.

Win against Royal Challengers Bangalore with a brilliant ton from Gilchrist took KXIP to a higher level which cemented their belief to reach next round. They would be looking to beat Deccan Chargers and make 8 wins out of 14 to match with other toppers. Net run rate will come into picture. A big win here would give an advantage to Kings Eleven.

The excitement of which four teams will make into the play offs is keeping the interest alive in IPL. Chennai Super Kings have already entered the next round. Mumbai Indians loss yesterday have toughened their situation and they will have to win their last match against KKR.
