For Chennai Super Kings, to make it into the playoffs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, they need to win five out of their six games in the tournament. This will take them to 16 points, which is usually considered as the qualification mark.
But the question remains will they still qualify for the playoffs of the IPL 2025, if they lose their next game against Sunrisers Hyderabad or not. The answer is yes, they will be very much in contention but it will be a must-win situation for them in all the games.
If Chennai Super Kings lose to SRH then they will have to win all five games. However, even if they lose one game out of the five matches, they can still qualify as it will take them to 14 points. However, their qualification will depend on the NRR and the results of the other teams.
