With 8 losses in the league stage, Chennai Super Kings were almost out of IPL till Saturday. If they wanted to qualify, they needed to win all their remaining games. Along with that, Rajasthan Royals needed to lose against Mumbai Indians and win their next two games against KKR and KXIP. Kolkata Knight Riders needed to lose all their remaining matches. Kings XI Punjab needed to win against KKR and lose their remaining two matches. These were the requirements for CSK to qualify for the playoffs.
They had a comfortable win against RCB in the afternoon game yesterday. Then, CSK fans were hoping for the results of the other matches to turn their way. However, they got a shock in the initial stage only as Rajasthan Royals got a thumping victory against Mumbai Indians. Thus, CSK is now officially out from the playoff race. At maximum, they can end their journey with 12 points, which will not be enough to qualify for the playoffs.
This is the first time in the history of IPL where CSK didn’t qualify for the playoffs in a season. It is just a setback and the fans are hoping that Dhoni and his gang will come back strong next year.
