As per the updated itinerary, the league stage will now conclude on May 27, with the grand finale slated for June 3.

Franchises have been informed that teams with a single home game left—like CSK and SRH—will play them in Delhi. Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is an exception due to its central location and logistical convenience, with broadcast equipment already stationed there.

After the Pahalgam attack, Instagram accounts of Pakistani actors like Mahira Khan, Hania Amir and Fawad Khan were blocked in India and this became a huge topic of debate whether it was a fair move or not. However, after India attacked Pakistan, these actors expressed their strong opinions against India and this did not go well with a lot of Indian actors.

Prior to the match, players from both CSK and KKR, along with BCCI officials, paid tribute to the Indian armed forces. The national anthem was played as players lined up on the boundary line in a show of respect for Operation Sindhoor and the military personnel involved.

Despite the drama, Gujarat held their nerve to top the points table, inching closer to the playoffs. Mumbai, meanwhile, slipped to fourth in the standings after the gut-wrenching defeat.

Following the face-off with Gujarat Titans, MI are scheduled to play the red-hot Punjab Kings on May 11 and the Delhi Capitals on May 15. The silver lining is that two of these encounters—against GT and DC—will be played at their home ground, the Wankhede Stadium.

Despite Rabada’s absence and Rashid Khan's struggles, GT have managed an impressive run this season, currently sitting fourth on the points table with seven wins from ten matches. Their bowling unit has performed admirably, with Prasidh Krishna leading the Purple Cap race with 19 wickets, supported by Mohammed Siraj (14 wickets) and Sai Kishore (12 wickets, economy 8.35).

MI captain Hardik Pandya showed great all-rounder ability by taking Shubham Dubey’s wicket in his sole over. While Rajasthan Royals lost to Mumbai Indians on Thursday, it won against MI in 5 matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

This season, RCB has been playing with all their passion, determined to serve their fans exactly what they have been waiting for all these years since the inception of IPL. Virat Kohli has become the highest scoring player this season and with that, RCB has been resting at the top of every list.
