How KKR can qualify?
Permutations for KKR to qualify for IPL 2023 –
First of all, Lucknow must lose both their fixtures against MI (May 16) and KKR (May 20). In case Lucknow beat MI, then KKR will have to defeat Lucknow by a heavy margin and hope MI lose to SRH by a heavy margin to stand any chance to topple them on NRR.
If the aforementioned possibilities take place, then RCB must lose both their fixtures against SRH (May 18) and GT (May 21). If RCB win either of their games, then their NRR must be lower than KKR’s NRR.
KKR would also need Punjab Kings to lose to Delhi Capitals on May 17 and then defeat the Rajasthan Royals on May 19. If both KKR and PBKS end up on 14 points, then the former can pip Shikhar Dhawan’s team on superior NRR.
Sunrisers Hyderabad should lose at least one of their three remaining fixtures. If the Orange Army happens to win all three matches, then it should be by close margins to ensure their NRR doesn’t eclipse KKR’s NRR.

Is KKR knocked out?
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 1 run in yet another thrilling encounter in the Tata IPL 2023. With the result, LSG ensured themselves a 3rd-place finish in the playoffs, while KKR are languishing in the 7th spot.
- Batting first at the Eden Gardens, LSG posted a competitive total of 176/8 at the end of their 20 overs.
- The LSG batting effort was headlined by an excellent, counter-attacking half-century by Nicholas Pooran (58 runs off 30 balls), who took the KKR attack to the cleaners.
- Prerak Mankad and Ayush Badoni too made vital contributions for the visitors.
For KKR, the pick of the bowlers were Sunil Narine (4 – 0 – 28 – 2), Vaibhav Arora (4 – 0 – 30 – 2) and Harshit Rana (3 – 0 – 21 – 1). In reply, KKR were off to a flying start courtesy of Jason Roy (45 runs off 28 balls) and Venkatesh Iyer (24 runs off 15 balls).
However, KKR lost a flurry of wickets after Iyer departed with the score at 61/1 in 5.5 overs. The LSG spinners tied a web around the hosts, continuously chipping away at the wickets and not allowing the hosts to break free. KKR faced the Himalayan task of scoring 41 runs in the last 2 overs with just 3 wickets in hand until Rinku Singh (67 runs off 33 balls) showed one final act of heroics this season.
In the end, KKR fell short by one run. With the loss, KKR officially got knocked out of the Tata IPL 2023. The ‘Knights’ won just six out of their 14 matches. It was a mixed season for KKR, where some players like Rinku Singh put in exceptional performances, but overall the squad lacked consistency, which resulted in their early exit from the tournament.

- We take a look at the IPL playoffs scenarios and how RCB, MI and RR can qualify.
- RCB scenario (13 matches, 14 points, +0.180 NRR)
- Last match: vs GT (21 May in Bengaluru)
Royal Challengers Bangalore are having an advantage in the race for the playoff spot. With the best NRR (net run rate) among the three teams, a victory against Gujarat Titans and moving to 16 points should be enough for them to qualify. Even if MI beat Sunrisers Hyderabad they have an NRR of -0.128 as against RCB’s +0.180.
- RCB can be knocked out of the race if they lose to GT while MI beat SRH.
- Bangalore play the second game on Sunday and will know exactly what is needed for them to qualify.
- MI scenario (13 matches, 14 points, -0.128 NRR)
- Last match: vs SRH (21 May in Mumbai)
MI can reach the playoffs with a fuss if they beat SRH and RCB lose to GT. In case both teams win then it will come down to NRR and currently MI are behind in that race. They will need to beat SRH by a margin of 79 runs to improve their NRR over RCB, but Bangalore play their game after Mumbai’s match and can further improve their NRR.
- RR scenario (14 matches, 14 points, +0.148 NRR) RR will be eliminated if either RCB or MI win their match.
- However, in case both RCB and MI lose then all three teams will be stuck on 14 points and NRR will decide the fourth-placed side.
- Mumbai however will get eliminated first in such a scenario as they have the worst NRR among the three teams.
