The curtain has officially fallen on Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) IPL 2025 campaign, as the five-time champions were knocked out of the playoff race following a decisive loss to Punjab Kings on Wednesday, April 30.
Playing at their home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium, CSK set a competitive target, but Punjab Kings chased down the 191-run goal with composure and control. Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh anchored the chase brilliantly, showcasing class and confidence under pressure.
The defeat marked a disappointing end for CSK, a team known for its legacy and consistency in the IPL. Despite moments of brilliance throughout the season, they couldn’t find the rhythm needed to secure a spot in the playoffs this year.
As the Super Kings bow out, all eyes now turn to how Punjab Kings and others shape the remainder of the tournament.
