IPL 2025 has been very poor for Chennai Super Kings so far. CSK has suffered defeat in 5 matches out of the first 6 matches. Chennai won the first match of this season. After this, she has lost 5 consecutive matches. This is the first time in the IPL when CSK has lost so many matches. The team is not able to win even at their home. CSK has lost the last three matches in Chepock. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether the team of Chennai Super Kings is out of the playoff race after this shameful performance and can it repeat a charisma like Mumbai Indians.
CSK out of the playoff race?
In the IPL 2025 points table, CSK’s team is currently at number 9 with 1 win and 2 points in 6 matches. His net run rate is minus 1.554. However, she has not been out of the playoff race even after this poor performance. But reaching the playoffs is not going to be less than any charisma for CSK. Let me tell you, all the teams play 14-14 matches in the IPL league stage, so CSK still has 8 matches left. If the team performs well in these remaining matches, then it can return in the season.
This charisma has happened only 1 time in IPL
The return in the season is not going to be easy for Chennai Super Kings. So far in the history of IPL, this has happened only once when a team has lost 5 matches out of the first 6 matches and qualified for the playoffs and also won the title. This Karishma was shown by the team of Mumbai Indians in 2015. In IPL 2015, the team of Mumbai Indians lost five out of the first 6 matches. After this, the team made a comeback and won 7 out of the next 8 matches and confirmed their place in the playoffs. After this, he won the title by defeating CSK team in the qualifier and final match.
CSK coach expected to return
After the defeat against KKR, CSK batting coach Michael Hussey said, ‘We are definitely not raising white flag yet. You only have to move forward to reach the fourth and last playoffs. And in big, long tournaments like IPL, it is about speed. Now, certainly the speed is not with us at this time. We are not playing good cricket continuously. We certainly accept it, raise our hands up, and say that this is a fact at this time. But this does not mean that things cannot change.
