As the dust settles after three weeks of non-stop cricketing action, the IPL 2025 season is already full of drama, comebacks, and stunning upsets. Some teams have found their groove early, while others are still trying to find the right XI.
Here’s your ultimate Week 3 Power Rankings, based on form, team balance, momentum, and star performances.
1. Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Record: 5 Wins, 1 Loss
Last Week: 2nd
The Royals have clicked in all departments. Jaiswal and Buttler are dominating with the bat, while Trent Boult and Chahal are strangling oppositions. Their only loss came in a close chase against GT.
2. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Record: 4 Wins, 2 Losses
Last Week: 3rd
MS Dhoni’s Midas touch continues. CSK’s bowling has improved, and Ruturaj is in Orange Cap contention. Even with injuries to key players, they find ways to win.
3. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Record: 4 Wins, 2 Losses
Last Week: 1st
KKR started strong but lost their last game to DC due to a middle-order collapse. Sunil Narine’s new role as a pinch-hitter is paying off, but they need consistency from their finishers.
4. Mumbai Indians (MI)
Record: 3 Wins, 3 Losses
Last Week: 5th
MI are unpredictable. Suryakumar Yadav is carrying the batting, but their bowling (outside of Bumrah) lacks bite. Hardik’s captaincy decisions are also under scrutiny.
5. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Record: 3 Wins, 3 Losses
Last Week: 6th
SRH is peaking at the right time. Abhishek Sharma and Klaasen have provided fireworks, while Umran Malik is clocking 150+ kmph regularly.
6. Gujarat Titans (GT)
Record: 2 Wins, 4 Losses
Last Week: 4th
GT is struggling without Shubman Gill’s early runs. The bowling is solid, but finishing games has been an issue. Need a spark to bounce back.
7. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Record: 2 Wins, 4 Losses
Last Week: 7th
Virat Kohli is in great form, but RCB’s bowling has let them down repeatedly. Too much dependency on top 3, and no solid death bowling plan.
8. Delhi Capitals (DC)
Record: 1 Win, 5 Losses
Last Week: 8th
DC is still struggling to find form. Warner’s slow starts, Marsh’s inconsistency, and poor fielding have cost them. Need a near-miracle from here.
