| Kolkata Knight Riders | Loser | They have already been hit by a second loss in the week-2 picture | Points-table snippet says KKR have their 2nd loss |
| Delhi Capitals | Neutral so far | Their week-2 place is tied to a played fixture, but the corpus gives no standings move | DC vs MI on Sat Apr 4 is marked Played |
| Mumbai Indians | Neutral so far | They are already part of a completed week-2 fixture, but no table movement is provided in the corpus | DC vs MI on Sat Apr 4 is marked Played |
| Gujarat Titans | Neutral so far | They have already been through a played fixture, but the corpus does not give a standings note | GT vs RR on Sat Apr 4 is marked Played |
| Rajasthan Royals | Neutral so far | They have already been through a played fixture, but the corpus does not give a standings note | GT vs RR on Sat Apr 4 is marked Played |
| Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Neutral so far | They are in the played mix already, but there is no confirmed table swing in the brief | RCB vs CSK on Sun Apr 5 is marked Played |
| Chennai Super Kings | Neutral so far | They are in the played mix already, but there is no confirmed table swing in the brief | RCB vs CSK on Sun Apr 5 is marked Played |
| Lucknow Super Giants | Swing team | Their week is already in motion and they still have two later fixtures that can change the tone | SRH vs LSG on Sun Apr 5 is marked Played; LSG vs GT on Sun Apr 12 is Scheduled |
| Punjab Kings | Swing team | Their week starts against KKR and then runs into another late fixture against SRH | KKR vs PBKS on Mon Apr 6 is Scheduled; PBKS vs SRH on Sat Apr 11 is Scheduled |
Momentum check: where the week can still flip
The first swing point is Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings on Mon Apr 6 at Eden Gardens. For KKR, that is the cleanest chance to stop the slide after the table note about their second loss; for PBKS, it is an early chance to turn a scheduled fixture into momentum.
The Apr 11 double-header can reshape the middle of the week fast. Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in Mohali and Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals in Chennai both sit in the part of the schedule where one result can change how the week feels for more than one team.
The final Apr 12 double-header gives the slate one last jolt. Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans in Lucknow and Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Mumbai are the last scheduled chances for the week to push one side up and leave another chasing.
Bottom line
The scoreboard read after the first four week-2 fixtures is simple: SRH up, KKR down. The April 6-12 slate is still live, and the remaining fixtures can still redraw the week before it closes.
