All that can go wrong for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 has gone wrong. CSK have only been able to win two of the eight matches they have played. Midway through the tournament, it became worse for them with the injury to their regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, and the form of the stand-in captain MS Dhoni has failed to deliver. The batting simply hasn't clicked as an overall unit. As things stand, CSK now sits at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, ranked 10th. This team looked out of sorts, with no vigor or zest to win games. But all hope is not lost. The faint hope of making it to the playoffs still lurks, as they have a(-n) uphill task with six league matches remaining. A bare qualification demands that CSK win all its remaining six matches with zero error margin. Batting and bowling must fire together. This, going by their recent performances, looks rather improbable. So, quite an unlikely scenario. So if CSK, at the end of the league matches, has won five games and lost only one more, they would finish with 14 points, and they would be in a direct race with a few other teams to make it. 14-point territory is this very dangerous position where the NRR starts to matter, and the team with the best NRR moves on.

But anything below 12, if the team loses three going forward, is just out of the question and it will be all over for them. IPL 2025 Point Table: Teams P W L T PTS.
