Delhi: Two teams for the playoffs have been decided for the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have reached the top four. The fight is currently going on for the remaining two seats. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team will face Gujarat Titans (GT) today. Victory in this match will ensure Hyderabad's entry into the playoffs. However, Gujarat team will also be seen trying to win the last match of the tournament. If GT ends with a win, Hyderabad will have to wait for their last match to reach the playoffs.
Hyderabad team is performing strongly in the batting department. Travis Head (533 runs), Abhishek Sharma (401 runs), Heinrich Klaasen (339 runs) have scored excellent runs. Apart from this, Nitish Kumar Reddy (239 runs and three wickets) has given an all-round performance and Indian doors may open for him in the future.

SRH has also performed well in the bowling department. Captain Pat Cummins (14 wickets) has been very influential for his team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (11 wickets) has also bowled brilliantly, while T Natarajan has dismissed the maximum number of 15 batsmen for Hyderabad this season. The axis of the bowling of the team is going to depend on the shoulders of all of them.
Gujarat team is dependent on the performance of both captain Shubhman Gill and Sai Sudarshan in the batting department. David Miller, Wriddhiman Saha, Shahrukh Khan, Vijay Shankar will also have to perform brilliantly with the bat, but now the challenge is over, it is expected that all these players will play without pressure, so it can be assumed that GT will be SRH's favorite. Will have to face a tough challenge.
Which 2 more teams will make it to the top four?
What remains to be seen will be which two teams enter the play-offs after Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals.
