IPL 2025 Playoffs Scenario: There is a very famous saying in Hindi, ‘We are submerged, Sanam, you will also drown.’ The Chennai Super Kings have been eliminated from the race in IPL 2025, but the team led by MS Dhoni can now become a threat to the rest of the teams. CSK face Royal Challengers Bangalore at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Dhoni and company will be desperate to take revenge on RCB. When the two teams were encouraged the same season, RCB had trampled Chennai Super Kings badly at their house.
The story of Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2025 is completely separated from each other. While the 5-time champion team is craving for one win each, on the other hand RCB has performed brilliantly. He has played 10 matches so far and won 7. RCBs on the points table are third with 14 points, but still they have to win 2 matches to reach the playoffs.
If you look at the points table of IPL 2025, this time the matter is a bit different. There is no guarantee to reach the playoffs even after 16 points. In such a situation, RCB will have to win at least 2 more matches out of the remaining four matches. If Chennai Super Kings wins in the match to be held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, then the paths of Royal Challengers Bangalore may be difficult. In such a situation, Rajat Patidar & Co. will not want to take this match lightly at any cost.
Let us know that Chennai Super Kings have become the first team to be out of the playoff race of IPL 2025. This is the first time CSK has not been able to make a place in the playoffs for two consecutive years. In addition to the CSK RCB looking for the third win this season, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans can also prove to be a threat. Defending champion KKR has played 10 matches so far this season and won just 4. They have to win every match to make a place in the playoffs. Kolkata and Chennai will face to face on 7 May. At the same time, the Gujarat Titans and CSK will compete on 18 May.
