Delhi's run rate is 1.25. Similarly, gujarat is in the second place. Gill-led gujarat has played four matches has three wins and one loss, and is in the second place with six points.

In order to qualify for the playoffs in the IPL, each team needs to win at least eight matches and collect 16 points. In that regard, chennai Super Kings have only won one match so far. Thus, CSK still has nine matches to play. CSK needs to win at least seven of these nine matches. Only by winning seven matches will CSK reach the 16-point mark. However, looking at the current state of CSK, this seems very difficult. However, if CSK makes small changes in their batting and fielding, they can get back on track.
