CSK in the championship phase
After some dismal performances early on, CSK got back to winning ways with top-notch performances from top-notch hitters and bowlers. In 14 matches, CSK won 8 times and lost 5 times with one match canceled due to rain. CSK would play the first playoff against defending champions GT at the iconic Chepauk. MSD troops are said to be eager to win the first qualifier to secure direct entry into the final in Ahmedabad.
