NEW DELHI :Indian Premier League powerhouse Chennai Super Kings have become the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race this season, paying the price for an outdated style of batting in the 10-team competition.
Sam Curran braved testing conditions to produce an imperious 88 but his knock went in vain as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a crushing loss to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The loss meant CSK were eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoffs race. It was Curran's first half-century of the season, coming at a crucial juncture after CSK had lost three early wickets after being put into bat by PBKS. Curran and Dewald Brevis combined with a robust 78-run fourth-wicket stand and turned on the heat on PBKS bowling.
Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 12 Lakh for maintaining slow over-rate during the IPL 2025 encounter against Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday. PBKS registered a comprehensive victory over CSK in the match but Shreyas was punished as his team was not able to complete the full quota of overs within the stipulated time. PBKS were even forced to bring an extra fielder inside the circle before the start of the 19th over but that did not stop Chahal from claiming a brilliant hat-trick.
Chennai Super Kings' journey in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 came to a disappointing end as they became the first team to be officially eliminated from the playoff race following a thrilling four-wicket loss to Punjab Kings at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. This marks a historic low for the MS Dhoni-led franchise, as they have now failed to make it to the playoffs in two consecutive seasons – something that had never happened before in the team's illustrious history.
Yuzvendra Chahal produced a performance for the ages in the IPL 2025 as he became the first bowler this edition to pick a hat-trick. The Punjab Kings spinner finished with figures of 4/32 against Chennai Super Kings in Chennai on Wednesday. In fact, he is the first bowler since IPL 2023 to pick a hat-trick. After conceding 23 runs in his first two overs, Chahal was brought into the attack by PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer in the 19th over. Though he was hit for six off the first ball, he picked MS Dhoni's wicket on the second ball. He went on to scalp Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj and Noor Ahmad to complete his second hat-trick in the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) slumped to their seventh defeat in nine matches in IPL 2025 as they lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at home on Friday. CSK managed a first innings score of only 154, which proved to be too low to defend. It was yet another instance where CSK's batting failed to fire. Former India opener Virender Sehwag slammed CSK's use of their batting lineup on a day when Sam Curran was sent in at No. 3 and Ravindra Jadeja at No. 4. Sehwag even labelled Jadeja's strike rate as poor.
Chennai Super Kings are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs race in IPL 2025. With seven losses out of nine, the five-match time champions are facing the worst time of their life. On Friday, they suffered a shocking five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their own fortress, Chepauk. Apart from being on the losing side, the match also had an intense moment after CSK skipper MS Dhoni gave a taunting response to Shaik Rashdeed as the 20-year-old's fielding error handed SRH an extra run.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja failed the bat gauge test during his side's IPL 2025 match against the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday. The incident happened in the fifth over after the dismissal of Sam Curran. As soon as Jadeja walked out to bat, on of the on-field umpires was quick to check his willow multiple times. Jadeja seemed a bit agitated while the umpire was passing the gauge through his bat, before eventually signalling at the dugout for more bats.
