The IPL 2026 points table has witnessed a massive shake-up following Mumbai Indians’ commanding 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans. After a string of four consecutive losses, Hardik Pandya\u2019s men bounced back in style at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Tilak Varma\u2019s brilliant century and Ashwini Kumar\u2019s lethal four-wicket haul dismantled Gujarat, restricting them to a mere 100 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impact on Net Run Rate and Rankings
This victory was not just about the two points; it significantly bolstered Mumbai\u2019s Net Run Rate (NRR). Jumping from -1.07 to 0.067, Mumbai leaped from the bottom of the table to the 7th position. Consequently, Chennai Super Kings have slipped to 8th, Lucknow Super Giants to 9th, and Kolkata Knight Riders have been pushed back to the 10th spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setback for Gujarat Titans
The loss has dealt a heavy blow to Gujarat Titans\u2019 aspirations of breaking into the top four. Despite having six points, their NRR plummeted to -0.821, keeping them stagnant at the 6th position. For Mumbai, this resurgence marks a potential turning point in their campaign, while other middle-order teams now face intensified pressure to maintain their standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
