Chennai Super Kings Playoffs Scenario: The team of Chennai Super Kings, captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad and known by the name of MS Dhoni, has once again fallen out of the top 4 in the points table. CSK had suffered a loss after the defeat to Punjab Kings, but in the meantime, as Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals, CSK has suffered more losses. So now Chennai Super Kings team will not be able to enter the playoffs. Let us understand the equation.
CSK team has lost three out of the last 5 matches
The team of Chennai Super Kings was riding on the chariot of continuous victory, but here the team has got some break. The team has faced defeat in three out of the last 5 matches. After this, the team has now reached fifth position in the points table. The team has played 10 matches so far, out of which it has won 5 and lost 5. In this way he has 10 points. However, the good thing is that the team’s net run rate is better, hence the team is ahead of Delhi Capitals who have scored 10 points. But even after this the path to the playoffs is not going to be so easy.
CSK’s next match will be against Punjab in Dharamshala.
CSK has to play its next match against Punjab Kings in Dharamshala, which has previously defeated Chennai in several consecutive matches. This match will be held on 5th May and it will be a day match, i.e. it will be played from 3:30 in the day. After this, on May 10, the team will face Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. On May 12, the team will face Rajasthan Royals at its home i.e. Chennai. Lastly, the team will play RCB on May 18, this match is to be played in Bengaluru.
CSK needs at least 16 points
Chennai will have to win at least three more matches from here to secure their place in the playoffs, as they have ten points and will have to reach 16 points. That means, if the CSK team wins three out of four matches from here, then its place in the playoffs will be confirmed, but at the same time it will have to be kept in mind that the net run rate should also be good, so that if two teams reach equal points then Then the team should win there. But winning even three matches will not be easy. Chennai’s record against Punjab has not been very good for some time now. Gujarat team also has the ability to give an equal competition. RCB team is back in form at this time. Even though Rajasthan Royals team has lost its last match, the team has been performing well continuously.
