The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is set for a thrilling double-header on May 10, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) facing Mumbai Indians (MI). As the league approaches its climax, every match is critical for playoff qualification. CSK, currently in a strong position, needs to secure three wins out of their remaining four matches to likely ensure a playoff spot. LSG, despite their recent victory over RCB, has lost seven matches and faces an uphill battle to stay in contention. Meanwhile, RCB has the opportunity to ascend to the top of the table with a win against MI but must regain momentum after consecutive losses. MI, like LSG, also has only a mathematical chance of qualifying, needing to win all their remaining matches to have any hope of making the playoffs. The current standings see Gujarat Titans leading with 14 points, tied with Sunrisers Hyderabad. The outcomes of these matches could significantly impact the playoff race, making them crucial for all teams involved.
