Updated IPL 2026 Points Table after KKR vs GT: Kolkata Knight Riders keep playoffs dreams alive after Finn Allen heroics

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) kept their Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs dreams alive after the Ajinkya Rahane-led side defeated Gujarat Titans by 29 runs in a high-scoring thriller at the iconic Eden Gardens on Saturday. Sent to bat first, KKR rode on knocks from Finn Allen (93), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (82 not out) and Cameron Green (52 not out) to put 247/2.

In reply, Gujarat Titans managed 218/4 despite fighting knocks from captain Shubman Gill (85) and Jos Buttler (57). The win lifted KKR to seventh spot, displacing Delhi Capitals, with 11 points from 12 games. Gujarat Titans remained at second spot with 16 points from 13 matches despite defeat.

Had Gujarat Titans won the game, they would have gone on top of the standings with 18 runs and "Qualified" written beside them. Royal Challengers Bengaluru continue to lead the standings. Gujarat Titans will play their final group-stage game against Chennai Super Kings on May 21.

For KKR, they need to beat Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at home in their final two games to stake a claim for a spot in the top four. Earlier, Chennai Super Kings' loss to Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians' win over Punjab Kings have helped KKR in the points table.
