Will CSK (Chennai Super Kings) be able to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs? Seven losses in nine games have kept Chennai Super Kings rooted to the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, the latest of those defeats coming at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 25. The MS Dhoni-led side had begun their IPL 2025 journey beating Mumbai Indians at home, but all have gone downhill since then for them as they have managed just one more win in the next eight matches. Chennai Super Kings are one of the most successful teams in the IPL, having won the title five times, the last of which came in 2023 under MS Dhoni's captaincy. IPL 2025 Points Table Updated With NRR: Sunrisers Hyderabad Jump to Eighth Place Following Crucial Victory Against Chennai Super Kings.

Poor batting has been one of the major highlights of CSK's struggles so far in IPL 2025. The big names like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and even Shivam Dube, for a good part, have failed to fire in unison. Earlier this season, there were concerns around MS Dhoni batting too low down the order and 'Thala' did show glimpses of his finishing skills in one of the matches. But CSK have failed as a unit and the introduction of youngsters like Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre is a positive step in the direction of improvement, as investing in young talent is bound to reap rewards on most occasions.

Chennai Super Kings IPL 2025 Playoffs Qualification Scenario

Chennai Super Kings, as mentioned before, are rooted to the bottom spot on the IPL 2025 points table. They have played ten games and lost eight matches, winning only two. Unfortunately, five teams in IPL 2025 points table already have 12 points on the board. If CSK win all their remaining four games they will have 12 points. That is the maximum they can reach which is not going to be enough. So, CSK are now out of the IPL play-off race. They will play for respect from here on and to settle their combination ahead of the upcoming season.
