IPL 2025 has been very bad for Chennai Super Kings so far. CSK has lost 5 out of the first 6 matches. Chennai had won the first match of this season. After this, they have lost 5 matches in a row. This is the first time in IPL that CSK has lost so many matches in a row. The team is not able to win even at home. CSK has lost all the last three matches at Chepauk. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether the Chennai Super Kings team is out of the playoff race after this shameful performance and whether can it repeat the miracle like the Mumbai Indians.

Is CSK out of the playoff race?

In the points table of IPL 2025, the CSK team is currently at number 9 with 1 win and 2 points in 6 matches. Its net run rate is minus 1.554. However, even after this poor performance, it is not out of the playoff race. But reaching the playoffs is going to be no less than a miracle for CSK. Let us tell you, in the league stage of IPL, all the teams play 14-14 matches, so CSK still has 8 matches left. If the team performs well in these remaining matches, then it can make a comeback in the season.

This miracle has happened only once in IPL.

It is not going to be easy for Chennai Super Kings to make a comeback in the season. In the history of IPL, it has happened only once so far when a team qualified for the playoffs after losing 5 out of the first 6 matches and also won the title. This miracle was shown by the Mumbai Indians team in the year 2015. In IPL 2015, the Mumbai Indians team lost five out of the first 6 matches. After this, the team made a comeback and won 7 out of the next 8 matches and confirmed its place in the playoffs. After this, it won the title by defeating the CSK team in the qualifier and the final match.

CSK coach fully hopes for a comeback

After the defeat against KKR, CSK batting coach Michael Hussey said, 'We are not raising the white flag right now. You just have to move forward to reach the fourth and last playoff spot. And in a big, long tournament like IPL, it is all about momentum. Now, the momentum is not with us at the moment. We are not playing good cricket consistently. We accept it, raise our hands, and say that this is a fact at the moment. But that does not mean that things cannot change.'
