MI might earn equal points as that of KKR after defeating SRH but their playoffs entry looks highly impossible. Kolkata Knight Riders take the 4th spot in the points table with 14 points and a net run rate of +0.587, much highest than MI’s NRR of -0.048. Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore have already qualified for the playoffs.
