The Chennai Super Kings are struggling in the IPL 2025 season, having won just two of their eight matches so far. With a total of four points and a net run rate of -1.392, they’re currently sitting at the bottom of the points table. The team’s chances of making it to the playoffs seem slim, but they’re not out of the running yet.
To make the playoffs, CSK will need to win all six of their remaining matches. This would give them a maximum of 16 points. However, their poor net run rate and the strong performances of the top five teams, who have already reached double figures in points, make their task even more challenging. The team’s upcoming schedule includes matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders, Gujarat Titans, and Rajasthan Royals.
CSK’s Road to the Playoffs
CSK’s recent wins have come against Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. They face Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25. Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals are also struggling, with just four points each. CSK’s path to the playoffs hinges on their ability to overcome these and other tough opponents.
The team’s remaining fixtures are crucial. How they fare against the teams mentioned will determine their playoff hopes. A strong finish to the season could see them make a late surge up the table.
