Which teams have qualified for IPL 2024 playoffs and which sides are eliminated?

The Indian Premier League is nearly two-thirds done and the real action begins now. With 14 league matches, all teams have enough time to make mistakes, try out combinations and still be in a position to make the cut for the playoffs.

However, like every year, a few teams have stood out from the very start, either for their brilliance or near hopelessness.

Rajasthan Royals have stormed to the lead in the points table, and it is clear why. The Sanju Samson-led Royals have one of the more balanced sides of the tournament and not a single batsman in their line-up plays the role of an "anchor", giving them success home and away.

At the other end of the table, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians seemed destined to finish last from the start.

Best Sanju Samson celebration ever.
