Chennai Super Kings Finish IPL Season Bottom First Time

In IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings ended their season in an unprecedented last place after an 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans, with notable performances from Devon Conway and Dewarld Brevis helping set a competitive total. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals finished on a high note, securing a six-wicket win against Punjab Kings, driven by Sameer Rizvi's unbeaten 58 off 25 balls and Karun Nair's crucial 44, despite early setbacks in their chase. Punjab Kings posted a challenging 206-8, with Shreyas Iyer scoring 53 and Marcus Stoinis delivering a powerful 44 not out, but their efforts fell short, ending their hopes for a top-two finish. The match between Punjab and Delhi was notable for being a replay after a previous suspension due to air raid alerts amid India-Pakistan tensions. Delhi's victory ensured their fifth-place finish, impacting the playoff dynamics alongside Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, whose final rankings are yet to be decided. Overall, the IPL playoffs picture is shaping up with these results influencing team standings and home advantage.
