IPL 2025: Can CSK qualify for Playoffs after loss to SRH?

By our Special Correspondent

Chennai Super Kings’ hopes to make the IPL 2025 Playoffs suffered a major blow after they registered a five-wicket loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at home at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

The defeat pushed MS Dhoni’s men further down in the IPL points table to the last slot, marking their seventh defeat in eight matches. While Dhoni previously stated that the team will take it one game at a time from this scenario and keep up their hopes, CSK’s Playoffs race remains in hope of a miracle.
