 "CSK in IPL 2025")
The five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champion, Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) campaign in IPL 2025 has just gone from bad to worse as they lost their seventh game of the season to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) today at MA Chidambaram Stadium by five wickets. CSK now have just four points after nine games played and will now need some hard work and a miracle to go in their favour if they wish to qualify for the playoffs.
The MS Dhoni-led side are now left with five more matches to play and even if they win all, they can only reach 14 points, which might not be enough to secure them the playoff spot. However, if they play their hands right and win their remaining games with big margins, they can repeat history of qualifying with 14 points on the board.
Notably, CSK is only the second team besides Deccan Chargers who won the trophy after qualifying for the final four stage with 14 points. Deccan Chargers did it in 2009 before CSK repeated the history a year later in 2010.
CSK are currently the bottom-ranked team in the points table this season.
