The race to IPL 2023 Playoffs has gotten intense with the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) slowly heading towards its final phase, end of IPL 2023 league stage. The current top seven teams in the 10-team IPL 2023 Points Table have points between 10-12 and are still in contention. There's not much difference among teams in terms of points, and that's why it is too early and difficult to predict which four teams will qualify for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 playoffs.

At present, defending champions Gujarat Titans have the best chance of becoming the first team to qualify for IPL 2023 Playoffs. Hardik Pandya-led GT currently sits at Number 1 position in IPL 2023 Points Standings. Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the bottom two teams, with only three wins from 9 IPL games, but aren't out either. From now on, every match is important for all teams in the fight for IPL 2023 Playoffs.
Meanwhile, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who has played for multiple franchises during his Indian Premier League (IPL) career, has picked four teams that, as per the veteran, are most likely to qualify for IPL 2023 Playoffs.
Speaking to the Star Sports show, Harbhajan said, "Jaha tak mujhe lagta hai, ek toh aapki GT jaur rahegi waha pe. Dusri jo team hai, waha par Chennai Super Kings jarur rahegi. Teesri team Mumbai Indians. Abhi vo bahut peeche hai par meri apni soch hai ki vo waha par rahegi. Aur RCB iss baar mujhe lagta hai pehle 4 mein dikhegi. RR mujhe lagta hai waha rahegi par in the end koi na koi aage nikal jayega. Mumbai Indians aage nikal jayegi. (As far as I think one will be GT. The second will definitely be the Chennai Super Kings. The third team is going to be MI. You might say that they are so low at present, but they will reach and the fourth will be RCB. I think RR will be on the verge, but in the end, somebody will leapfrog them. Mumbai Indians might overtake them.)"
