With the defeat, some such records were also added to the name of Chennai Super Kings which no team wants to see in their account.

top order flop show
The biggest reason for CSK’s defeat was its bad start. The initial batsmen of the team could not play big innings and wickets kept falling rapidly. In T20, if the top order does not score runs then the entire team comes under pressure.
Even the middle order could not handle the innings
When the team was in trouble, the middle order was expected to handle the innings. But no big partnership could be formed between the batsmen. For this reason the team failed to score a big score.
The team could not take advantage of the power play
Powerplay is considered to be the most important time in T20 cricket, where the batsmen give a strong start to the team by scoring fast runs. But in this match, Chennai Super Kings could not take advantage of the powerplay and came under pressure in the initial overs itself.
Rajasthan chased the small target easily
The target of 127 runs was not very challenging for Rajasthan Royals. The team’s batsmen played cautiously and achieved the target easily and Chennai Super Kings had to face the disappointing defeat of the season.
This match made it clear that if Chennai Super Kings want to progress in this season, they will have to improve their batting. Making small scores and losing early wickets can cause constant trouble for the team. It will be very important for CSK to make a comeback in the coming matches.
CSK’s lowest score in IPL history
- 79 all out vs MI (2013)
- 97 all out vs MI (2022)
- 103/9 vs KKR (2025)
- 109 all out vs RR (2008)
- 109 all out vs MI (2019)
That means 127 runs is not CSK’s all-time lowest score, but it comes in the low score category and is considered a small total.
