Can CSK get qualifying for the IPL 2025 playoffs?
There are four matches left for CSK, they are out of the playoff race for the second year. In IPL 2025, CSK has become the first team to be out of the victim of merit. They never lost from qualifying for the playoffs for two straight versions.
In fact, CSK qualified for the playoffs in every season from 2008 to 2019 before remembering the top-four in 2020. He repeated that unfortunate feat in 2022 and now missed progress in 2024 and 2025.

What do you think what is the main reason for CSK’s poor performance this season?
For themselves and four matches for themselves and with four points to show four matches, even though CSK goes to a winning competition, most they can manage 12 points. It will not be enough to see them to reach the top-four with the pre-set scar at 12 digits.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (14 points), Punjab Kings (13 points), MI, Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capital (12 points) are all better, even if CSK win four directly.
