Both Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals registered impressive wins over Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians in a blockbuster IPL 2020 doubleheader on Sunday (October 25). While Steven Smith's Rajasthan Royals kept their IPL 2020 playoff qualification dreams alive, their win also meant that MS Dhoni's CSK won't be making into the last for the first time in the past 13 seasons of the tournament.

Kolkata Knight Riders take on Kings XI Punjab in a crucial IPL 2020 clash in hopes to keep their dream to qualify for this year's playoff alive.
The Orange Cap race is still led by KL Rahul, the Kings XI Punjab skipper and it looks like only Shikhar Dhawan of Delhi Capitals has the chance to catch up with him with only four games to go. Rahul and Dhawan have been in magnificent form and it will be close tussle between the two star players. However, the fight for the Purple cap has intensified after the Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals clash. Kagiso Rabada is still leading the pack with 23 wickets in 11 games, meanwhile, Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami remain in close proximity with their 17 wickets in the tournament so far.
