Who would ever have imagined that one of the IPL\u2019s most successful and reigning champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would be wallowing at the penultimate bottom of the table.<\/p>\n
After reclaiming the leadership and defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad, it appeared like MS Dhoni may once again unleash his magic and lead the Super Kings to the playoffs.<\/p>\n
CSK is still in the playoff race \u2013 but only by a hair\u2019s breadth, and will require a miracle for other squads\u2019 results to go their way. CSK has 6 points after 10 games, and they may reach 14 points if they win their remaining four games.<\/p>\n
CSK\u2019s loss against RCB in their most recent match might be devastating to their prospects of entering the playoffs this season. While the four-time winners are all so out of the tournament, there is yet a ray of hope for them. CSK will need to win all four of its remaining matches to get 14 points this season.<\/p>\n
CSK has a low net run rate; they\u2019ll need to win all four of their matches by large margins and hope for a miracle for the rest of the results to go their way to finish fourth. In summary, Mumbai is the first franchise to be eliminated this season, and Chennai is just a matter of time until they follow suit.<\/p>\n
