Delhi climbed up to the top spot in the eight-team standing of the ongoing 2019 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after clinching a thrilling six-wicket win over Rajasthan at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, continue to stand at the second-last spot after slumping to their sixth defeat in 10 matches they have played this season. 

After being asked to bat first, opener Ajinkya Rahane struck his second ton of the IPL, scoring 63-ball 105 including 11 boundaries and three sixes, while skipper Steve Smith pulled back his second consecutive half-century to help Rajasthan post a mammoth total of 191/ 6 in their stipulated 20 overs. 

In reply, the Rajasthan bowlers failed to defend the huge target as Prithvi Shaw (42) and Shikhar Dhawan (54) laid the foundation with an opening wicket stand of 78 runs before Pant 36-ball 78 to help his side cross the mark with four balls to spare. 

Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai, who have dropped to the second spot after their narrow one-run defeat to Bangalore on Sunday, will now take on fourth-placed Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.

Let us take a look at how the eight teams are placed in the standings ahead of the clash:
