Chennai Super Kings End IPL 2025 with a Strong Win, But Fail to Reach Playoffs
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is known for its drama, excitement, and emotional moments. This year, IPL 2025 gave fans many thrilling matches. One such moment happened today when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) played their last league match against Gujarat Titans (GT). CSK won the match with a big margin of 83 runs. Their fans were happy to see the team perform well, especially after a difficult season.
But sadly, even with this great win, CSK could not qualify for the playoffs. They finished the season at 10th place in the points table.
CSK’s Strong Batting Performance
CSK won the toss and decided to bat first. They started well and continued to score runs at a good rate. In the end, they made a huge total of 230 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. This was one of their best batting performances this season and their fourth-highest total in IPL history.
Some key batting performances:
- Dewald Brevis played a powerful innings, scoring 57 runs from just 23 balls. He hit many boundaries and sixes.
- Devon Conway also batted well and scored 52 runs. He gave a strong start to the innings.
- MS Dhoni, Shivam Dube, and others added quick runs in the last few overs to take the total past 230.
The Chennai fans, who came to support their team, were very happy with the performance. Every run was cheered, and the stadium was full of energy.
GT Struggles While Chasing
- After such a big score, Gujarat Titans had a tough job. They had to score 231 runs in 20 overs. But they lost wickets early and could not build any big partnerships. They were all out for 147 runs in 18.3 overs.
- Best bowling performances from CSK:
- Anshul Kamboj took 3 wickets for just 13 runs. He bowled with good speed and accuracy.
- Ravindra Jadeja took 2 wickets, keeping the pressure on GT in the middle overs.
- Other bowlers also did well and did not allow the GT batsmen to settle.
- It was a complete team performance from CSK – both with the bat and the ball.
CSK’s Final Position in IPL 2025
Even after winning this match, CSK ended the tournament at the bottom of the table.
- Total matches played: 14
- Matches won: 3
- Matches lost: 11
- Total points: 6
- Final position: 10th out of 10 teams
It was a disappointing season for CSK, especially for a team that has won the IPL five times before. Fans had high hopes, but the team could not perform well in most of the matches.
Is This Dhoni’s Last Match?
One of the biggest questions in every fan’s mind is: Was this MS Dhoni’s last match in the IPL? After the game, Dhoni waved to the crowd, looked emotional, and stayed on the field longer than usual. This made many people think that he might retire now.
But Dhoni has not said anything officially. He didn’t confirm if this was his last match. Fans are hoping that he plays at least one more season. But if this was his final match, he ended it in style – with a big win, in front of the home crowd.
