Chennai Super Kings , already out of the playoff race, played the role of spoilers to perfection with a surprise win over Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 57 of IPL 2025. Despite enduring one of their worst seasons, CSK showed grit and pride, notching just their third victory to throw a wrench into KKR’s playoff hopes.


The loss leaves KKR stranded on 11 points from 12 games, a critical blow at this late stage of the tournament. With just two matches left, their playoff chances now hang by a thread — needing not only back-to-back wins but also favourable results elsewhere. To make matters worse, their Net Run Rate has taken a hit, pushing them further behind in the mid-table tussle, especially against a surging Delhi Capitals.

CSK, still at the bottom of the table, now have 3 wins from 12 matches. While it changes little for them on the leaderboard, the win is a welcome morale boost for a side that’s struggled to find rhythm all season.


Points Table After Match 57 – The Race Heats Up
  • Gujarat Titans lead the pack with 16 points (12 matches) and a strong NRR of +0.753, looking almost certain to seal a playoff berth.

  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru, also on 16 points but with a game in hand, sit second with a healthy +0.482 NRR.

  • Punjab Kings are breathing down their necks with 15 points in 11 matches and a NRR of +0.376.

  • Mumbai Indians, currently fourth with 14 points and the best NRR in the league (+1.156), are in a strong spot but can’t afford any more slip-ups.

  • Delhi Capitals remain firmly in the hunt, fifth with 13 points from 11 games and a NRR of +0.362.

  • KKR, now sixth with 11 points (12 matches), are in a precarious position after their Eden Gardens defeat.

  • LSG have 10 points and a poor NRR (-0.469), leaving them with only slim playoff hopes.

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, each with 3 wins and heavily negative NRRs, are out of the race.



With just a handful of league matches remaining, the playoff picture is anything but settled. And if CSK’s win over KKR is any indication, even the bottom-ranked teams still have the power to shape the final four.
