They will now have to win all their remaining matches and they will also have to depend on the results of other matches to qualify for the playoffs this season. In the last few seasons, we have seen that Chennai Super Kings can make a comeback from any situation. However, things are a little bit difficult for them this time. They have to start winning from the next game onwards to keep their playoffs hopes alive.
The results of the next few games have to go in favour of Chennai Super Kings at this moment. Sunrisers Hyderabad should win the match against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. Then, they will get 8 points in 10 games.

After that, Chennai Super Kings have to win against Royal Challengers Bangalore. With that win, Chennai Super Kings will go to 10 points in 12 games. Mumbai Indians should win their next game against Rajasthan Royals. After that win, Mumbai Indians will get 14 points in 11 matches.
