Is CSK Out of IPL 2025: The 2025 IPL season has been a tough ride for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Once known for their unbeatable consistency, the five-time champions now find themselves facing an almost certain early exit. With just a few games left, fans are left wondering — is CSK officially out of IPL 2025?

Let’s break it down.

CSK’s Struggles in IPL 2025

This season hasn’t been kind to the Yellow Army.
After suffering a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, CSK now has seven losses in nine matches — sitting right at the bottom of the table with just four points.

The biggest issue? Inconsistent performances.
Their batting has crumbled time and again. In their latest match, they were bowled out for just 154 runs — a score even MS Dhoni called “not justifiable.”

What Went Wrong?

• Batting Collapse:
  Big names failed to fire when it mattered most.

• Poor Strike Rates:
  Virender Sehwag didn’t hold back, slamming the team for their “lack of intent” and especially criticizing Ravindra Jadeja’s slow scoring.

• Captaincy Challenges:
  After Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury ruled him out, Dhoni returned as captain — but the spark never came back.

Even at their fortress — Chepauk — CSK lost four straight matches, something unheard of in their history.

Are Playoffs Still Possible?

Technically? Yes.
Realistically? Very unlikely.

For CSK to qualify, they would need:

• To win all remaining matches

• Hope for other results to go perfectly in their favor

Given the way things have unfolded, even die-hard fans are starting to accept that this might be it for CSK in IPL 2025.

What’s Next for CSK?

While the season might end early, CSK will surely go back to the drawing board:

• Rebuild the squad

• Focus on youth and fresh energy

• Reassess auction strategies (something Stephen Fleming hinted at)

CSK’s legacy — five IPL titles and unmatched loyalty from fans — remains untouched.
A tough season doesn’t erase greatness. It simply sets the stage for a stronger comeback.
