Can CSK qualify for playoffs 2022? Check all IPL 2022 Playoffs scenarios

CSK IPL 2022 Playoffs scenarios: After entering the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022) season as the defending champions, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have failed to live up to the expectations so far. The four-time IPL champions have managed to win just 3 out of their 10 matches in the ongoing T20 competition. Also, while considering his poor individual form and the pressure of leading the Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja relinquished the captaincy duties back to MS Dhoni in the middle of the tournament.

The Chennai Super Kings are currently placed at the 9th position on the points table with a total of 4 matches remaining in the league stage of Indian Premier League 2022. However, CSK’s previous loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore has definitely hurt their chances of qualifying for the IPL 2022 playoffs. The MS Dhoni-led team will next be facing Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals in their remaining four matches this T20 season.

First Requirement

CSK will have to win all of their remaining matches against DC, MI, GT and RR to have a chance of qualification.
