IPL 9 has already seen some tremendous ups and downs in the points table. Almost half way through the tournament, it is still very much in favour of every team to qualify for the playoffs, the Kings XI Punjab and the Rising Pune Supergiants, though, will have to win all their games in their bid to do so.

The Delhi Daredevils climbed to the second spot in the points table after their win over Kolkata Knight Riders, who now have slipped to the 3rd spot. Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered their 4th defeat of the season and are still at the 7th position. The Sunrisers Hyderabad have made their way to the 4th spot after their home win against RCB.
