IPL 2025 qualification scenario explained: SRH, what needs to be done to make CSK eligible. Cricket news

MS Dhoni’s clever captaincy has helped CSK to bounce back from the worst circumstances, making them an impossible comeback. CSK captain Ruturaj Gikwad was expected to have a uniform change for the franchise after a return to the captaincy of the wicketkeeper-better.
However, despite Dhoni being the captain, things have deteriorated to the CSK, as is evident from the team’s performance against KKR and MI. Chennai -based franchise managed to score just 103 runs against Ajinkya Rahane -led side, causing an eight -wicket defeat. The terrible rivals MI also won a major nine wickets as Dhoni had seen quietly.
CSK is currently at the bottom IPL 2025 points Table After six defeats in eight matches with NRR of -392.
It has been a similar position for SRH, which is currently ninth in the points table after losing five of the seven matches so far this season. The franchise in Hyderabad is NRR -1.217. SRH started the season strongly, broke 286 in its opener against RR.
However, they failed to maintain the same speed, recording necklace at regular intervals from that point. The form of Ishan Kishan has been a great concern, while the bowlers have also fought to feel their presence. Even Travis Head has been quite tame to IPL 2024.
How to qualify for CSK playoffs?
All six remaining matches will be required to win comfortably to give CSK a chance to make the playoffs. The Chennai -based franchise currently has four points, while the top five teams already have 10 points in their kitty.
