2nd place- CHENNAI SUPER KINGS (CSK)
Chennai Super Kings have nearly made it into the playoffs by the virtue of having 16 points from 8 wins from 12 matches. The MS Dhoni-led yellow brigade has lost three of their last four matches and MS Dhoni has missed two of those due to back spasm and illness.
CSK next play Delhi Capitals at home and Kings XI Punjab in Mohali, and a win in any of the matches will confirm a top-two finish for them and two chances to make it into the finals of the IPL 2019 and defend their title.
