The joint most successful team in the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings are now in the danger of not being able to make into the play-offs. Meanwhile, the defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders are also in a tricky position and if they want to stay alive in the competition, they will have to avenge their historic loss to Punjab Kings later today when the two sides meet in Kolkata. With every game becoming increasingly important for every team, here is a short dispatch covering the most important news from the IPL 2025 for April 26.
CSK's hopes over? CSK are staring at the exit door after seven losses in nine games. Even if they win all five of their remaining games, which seems highly unlikely given their poor form, they will still have to rely on other result to have hopes of finishing in the top four. Check out the scenarios for CSK to qualify for the IPL 2025 play-offs.
BY Gaurav Thakur Dhoni's reaction on SRH loss "In a tournament like this, if you have one or two areas where you can plug in the holes, it is good. But if majority of your players are not doing well, it becomes very difficult," MS Dhoni said at the post-match press conference. "Because you have to do a few changes, but if majority are doing well then you give those guys that extra few games and if it doesn't work out than you move onto the next one.
But if four of them are not performing at the same time, you are bound to make that change, because you can't just keep on going," Dhoni added. BY Outlook Sports Desk KKR vs PBKS With three wins and five losses in their eight games, KKR are in a spot of bother currently. They face PBKS today, a team that defended 111 against them a few days back.
Revenge will be on KKR's mind but they have no choice. If they lose today, they will reach at a point where they will have to win every single game to stay in play-off contention. Holes in fortress Chepauk There remains no home comfort for CSK at the Chepauk Stadium this season.
They lost to Delhi Capitals after 15 years, then lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru after 17 years, and now they lost to SRH for the first time at the ground. The ground that was supposed to be their strength has turned to be their weakness and that explains their struggles this season. Catch of the season? Dewald Brevis IPL comeback was going well before Kamindu Mendis pulled off a stunner at long off to dismiss the young South Africa.
Internet is hailing the catch as the catch of the season. Watch below: Only a catch like that could’ve stopped that cameo from Brevis! 🤯 Kamindu Mendis, take a bow 🙇 #CSK 119/6 after 14 overs. Updates ▶ https://t.
