IPL 2025: Dhoni's CSK Achieve EMBARRASSING First; Perform THIS Unwanted Feat

IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is completely out of the playoff race in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Five-time IPL champion CSK now had to face defeat by 4 wickets at the hands of Punjab Kings (PBKS). CSK is the first team to be out of the playoff race in IPL 2025.

This is the first time that Chennai Super Kings could not reach the playoffs in two consecutive IPL seasons. Chennai Super Kings finished fifth last season.

CSK's boat sinks even at home

It is considered very difficult for any team to defeat Chennai Super Kings at its home ground Chepauk (MA Chidambaram Stadium). But in the current season, CSK's fort has completely collapsed. For the first time in IPL, CSK has lost five consecutive matches at home.

Also, for the first time in a season, CSK has lost five back-to-back matches at home. Also, this is the first time that Chennai Super Kings could not reach the playoffs in two consecutive IPL seasons. Let us tell you that Chennai Super Kings finished fifth in IPL 2024.

CSK's fort completely demolished

Chennai Super Kings made a great start this season by defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 4 wickets at their home. But after that the team's losing streak started. CSK had to face defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Punjab Kings at their home.

SRH won at Chepauk for the first time. At the same time, Delhi Capitals defeated CSK at their home after 15 years. While RCB broke Chennai's fort after 17 years.

Even Dhoni could not change the fate

Nothing is going right for Chennai Super Kings this season. Neither the batsmen have shown consistency in their performance, nor have the team's bowlers been that effective. CSK suffered a major setback in the middle of the season when Rituraj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament due to injury. After Rituraj was out, Mahendra Singh Dhoni again took over the captaincy, but he too could not change the team's fortunes this time.
