Grok AI has predicted the IPL 2025 playoffs based on past performance and present team strength, and four sides have been picked out as likely contenders for the title. With the tournament commencing on Saturday (March 22), with a game between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), fans are waiting to see how these predictions play out.

Top picks for IPL 2025 playoffs

Mumbai Indians (MI): Grok AI has pinpointed MI as a top contender. The side has a quality squad with veterans such as Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. MI have five IPL titles to their credit, and their depth and established record put them in favour, as suggested by Grok.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK): Another powerhouse in the league, CSK are recognized for their consistency and experience. Despite facing challenges in previous seasons, Grok believes they remain a formidable force, particularly under the leadership of MS Dhoni, should he participate this season.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Being the current champions, KKR are also one of Grok’s favourites. Their current form and formidable squad put them in good stead for another playoff campaign, albeit possibly with some trouble by way of key player losses.

Gujarat Titans (GT): Completing the forecast, GT are spoken highly of for having a well-balanced team and fighting spirit. Grok sees them as capable of pulling off upsets against established dynasties such as MI and CSK in the playoffs.
