Former IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings have topped the points table for the first time in the ongoing season. After playing seven games, they have won five games, the latest win came against Kolkata Knight Riders. For the first time since 2021, the Yellow Brigade has reached the top spot, having finished ninth last year. At this point, the four-time winners need three more wins in seven games to reach the playoffs.
Meanwhile, former India and KKR player, Aakash Chopra has claimed that CSK will play the final. The team has played nine finals, losing five out of them. Chopra added that the MS Dhoni-led side have defeated teams at home and way too and have the best chances of finishing first in the table.
“Chennai have won five of their seven matches now. To qualify, you need to win eight games, so you need to win three out of seven matches and a lot of home games are left and they are winning away from home.”
“They have defeated Mumbai in Mumbai, Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy and Kolkata in Kolkata. Super Kings have won three away matches. They have to play matches at home. The team have full chances of finishing at No. 1 and the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator are at Chepauk, which means they will go to the final.”
