The win over Mumbai Indians on Saturday was a special one for Chennai Super Kings as it lifted them to No. 6 in the IPL 2026 points table. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians remain at 9th position. They have only managed to win two out of nine matches played so far in IPL 2026, and their chances of qualifying for the playoffs by finishing in the top four are all but over now.
Even if Mumbai Indians win all of their remaining five matches, they will finish the league stage with 14 points. But 14 points might not be enough for them to qualify for the playoffs.
In the last four seasons of the IPL (since it became a 10-team tournament), only once has a team that finished the league stage with 14 points managed to finish in the top four (RCB in 2014).
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have 8 points to their credit from nine matches. The Men in Yellow will qualify for the playoffs if they win four of their remaining five matches in the league stage.
They will next face Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday (May 5). CSK have already defeated DC once this year’s IPL. In the fixture played at MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 11, Sanju Samson scored an unbeaten century (115) to help them secure a win by 23 runs.
