CSK vs PBKS, IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced another loss in the IPL 2025. They played against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground, the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, on Friday, and lost by five wickets.
This loss is a tough one for CSK, as it’s their seventh defeat this season. They’ve now played nine games but only have four points, which puts them at the very bottom of the points table.
However, there’s still a glimmer of hope for the MS Dhoni-led side! They’re not completely out of the Playoff race yet. To even have a chance, they need to win all of their remaining five matches. If they manage to do that, they would reach a total of 14 points.
Even with 14 points, they’d still need a bit of luck with how other teams perform. They would also need to have a really good Net Run Rate to be in the running for a Playoff spot. Looking back at past seasons, only Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2024 season managed to qualify for the Playoffs with 14 points after the league expanded to 10 teams. So, while it’s a long shot, it’s not impossible for CSK.
MS Dhoni-led CSK have the toughest team of the IPL 2025 waiting for them in their next clash. Super Kings will face the top lying Punjab Kings next.
As the teams prepare to take on their next challenge, we take a look at the match details, preview, predicted playing 11 for each team, and further.
