IPL 2022 Playoffs Scenario: Only four out of 10 teams will be able to reach the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 playoffs, so far Mumbai Indians is the only team that has been out of the playoff race. Now out of the remaining nine teams, four teams will make it to the playoffs. Chennai SuperKings have played 9 matches and have lost six out of them. Mahendra Singh Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja before the start of the season, and Jaddu returned the captaincy to Dhoni again ahead of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday. CSK are at the 9th position with six points in the points table after their third win. Let us understand what will Dhoni and Co. have to do to reach the playoffs or are the doors of the playoffs closed for this team?
CSK now have five more matches to play. If he wins all the matches in five matches, then the team will have a total of 16 points in the account, which keeps the hope of reaching the playoffs. However, the results of other teams in the race for CSK’s playoffs will also have an impact. Mumbai Indians, the most successful franchise team in IPL history, may have been out of the race for the playoffs, but they can now spoil the equation of the rest of the teams.
CSK have to play the remaining matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals. Now in such a situation, the playoff for the team seems to be full of easy thorns, but still the CSK fans are confident that captain Dhoni will definitely take the team to the playoff.
