Chennai Super Kings failed to reach the playoffs for the first time in Indian Premier League history as their campaign ended once the Rajasthan Royals defeated the Mumbai Indians. Once that happened, CSK’s hopes of a back door entry were dashed. While the team faced backlash on social media, MS Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi, spoke out in support of the team and her husband while using Instagram and writing a moving poem.

“It’s just a game …” on his timeline. “The Queen’s scroll says it all. #WhistlePodu #Yellove, ”CSK tweeted, sharing Sakshi’s post.
CSK is the second most successful team in terms of titles won in the history of the IPL. They have won the trophy three times.
However, this season has been unforgettable for MS Dhoni’s Yellow Army.
With just four wins in 12 matches so far, they are at the bottom of the IPL standings. On Sunday, thanks to their victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore, CSK kept alive their chances of reaching the playoffs on paper.
It has been a disappointing season for Chennai as it looked like they weren’t ready for the season. CSK also lost the services of two of their experienced players in Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh. In some games, the team faced backlash for showing lack of intention, and Dhoni also found himself on the firing line at times.
The defending champions of the Mumbai Indians with seven wins in 11 games are first at the table. They are followed by the capitals of Delhi, which have had a season to remember. The Capitals have also won seven games and, like Mumbai, it looks good to reach the playoffs with three games to play.
