CSK team at IPL 2023
IPL 2023 Points Table Playoffs Scenario: IPL 2023 started on March 31 and from then until Monday 62 matches have been played. After so many days and matches, the day finally came when one of the ten teams in IPL 2023 qualified for the playoffs. And that is Gujarat Titans, captained by Hardik Pandya, who has also been the champion of the year 2022. Although GT also had a chance in the previous match to win their match and enter the playoffs, but a loss shattered their hopes. Speaking of now, there is a team that has gone to the playoffs and two teams that are now out of the race. Meanwhile, currently three playoff spots are vacant and because of this, a fight between the seven teams is almost certain.
Gujarat Titans qualified for playoffs, CSK must win last match
If we look at the latest IPL 2023 Points Table, after winning nine out of 13 matches, the Gujarat Titans team has captured the number one position. With this, it is now confirmed that the GT team will still be number one or number two at the end of the league stage. The team can’t go below this. The team has one more game left. Now, after GT have made it to the playoffs, the most difficult moment has arisen for the captaincy of MS Dhoni, CSK. Although the team is still ranked number two in the points table, it cannot be said for sure whether the team will go to the playoffs or not. Let’s understand how. Chennai Super Kings have 15 points from 13 games. The team has one game left. If the team loses its last game somewhere, there will only be 15 points left. At the same time, number three has 14 points with seven wins in 12 games. If the Mumbai Indians win their last two matches, they will have 16 points. It means that the CSK will go down. It is followed by LSG at number four with 13 points in 12 games. If this team also wins both of its games, then it can have 17 points. But the point is that Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Supergiants will also play a match against each other, in which case only one team can win their two matches. In such a situation, it will not be easy to knock CSK out of the top 4. But many teams are standing at 12 points. RCB has 12 points in 12 games. Rajasthan Royals have 13 points, KKR have 13 matches and Punjab Kings have 12 points from 12 matches. These teams will play against each other, but one or the other team can get 16 points by winning two games. This is the only condition when Chennai Super Kings can be out of the top 4. But if CSK wins their last match then their current 15 points will increase to 17 then the team with 16 points will not have at least a chance to overtake CSK . That is to say, Chennai Super Kings will have to win the last league game to ensure their place in the playoffs, which will be played against Delhi Capitals.
After Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s chances of going to the playoffs are over.
If the situation is evaluated by combining something, we find that the team that is currently ranked number eight, can also be in the top 4 according to the equations. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals are the only teams out of the playoff race. Now the fight between these two teams will be about which team will be number nine and which team will be number ten. Both teams have played their 12 games and add eight points with four wins. That is, even if these teams win both games, they can only reach 12 points at most. Well now these teams i.e. DC and SRH can definitely ruin the game of the teams running above. At the stage IPL is at now, a loss should be considered game over. You have to see how interesting the upcoming battle is.
