The IPL 2026 season is heating up, and the standings after Match 13 show a clear divide between the early pace-setters and those struggling to find their rhythm.
The Rajasthan Royals are the team yet to beat, sitting comfortably at the top with 6 points. Their massive NRR of +2.403 is largely due to their dominant 27-run victory over MI in a rain-shortened Match 13. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, dropped to seventh place after the defeat. They have played three matches so far, registering just one win while losing twice, and their net run rate of -0.715 reflects an inconsistent start to the season.
Punjab Kings is second as they remain unbeaten in two matches and gained a crucial point from a washout against KKR in their 3rd match. They have accumulated five points and boast a net run rate of +0.637. RCB holds the highest NRR in the league, having played one game fewer but winning both their opening fixtures convincingly against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings.
Delhi Capitals are fourth, also unbeaten with two victories from two outings. They have four points and a solid net run rate of +1.170. In fifth place are Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have one win and two defeats from three matches but maintain a positive net run rate of +0.275. Lucknow Super Giants have moved up to sixth, overtaking Mumbai Indians on net run rate. They have one win and one loss from two matches, with two points and a net run rate of -0.542.
Further down, Kolkata Knight Riders are placed eighth with one point from three games, including a no result, and a net run rate of -1.964. Gujarat Titans are ninth, yet to secure a win in two matches and carrying a net run rate of -0.424.
Chennai Super Kings are in a rare position at the bottom of the table, having lost all three of their opening matches. Their NRR of -2.517 is the worst in the league, leaving them with a massive uphill task to qualify for the playoffs.
