Can Chennai Super Kings Still Qualify for IPL 2025 Playoffs? Here’s Every Scenario Explained

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have had a disappointing run in IPL 2025 so far. After losing 7 out of their 9 matches, they currently sit at the bottom of the points table and are on the verge of elimination. However, mathematically, there is still a flicker of hope.

🔢 CSK’s Playoff Possibility:

  • Matches Remaining: 5

  • If they win all 5: 10 + 4 = 14 points

  • Key Factor: Just winning 5 matches won’t be enough. CSK’s Net Run Rate and the results of other teams will also play a crucial role.

🤔 Are 14 Points Enough?

  • In past seasons like 2019 or 2023, some teams qualified with 14 or even 12 points.

  • But with 10 teams in the tournament this time and top teams already having more points, 14 points may not guarantee qualification.

  • Currently, 3 teams already have 12 points and 3 others have 10, which makes the situation trickier for CSK.

❗ One More Loss = Elimination

If CSK lose even one more match, their IPL 2025 journey will officially come to an end.


Conclusion:
Chennai Super Kings are still mathematically in the race for the IPL 2025 playoffs, but the road is extremely difficult. They need to win all remaining matches and also rely on other teams’ results and a strong Net Run Rate to stand a chance.
