The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had got off to the worst possible start to their campaign, losing four games on the trot in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Making the situation worse was the news of Deepak Chahar&#8217;s back injury and him being ruled out of IPL 2022. However, the Ravindra Jadeja and Co. have finally broken the four-match losing streak.

They are back with the bang winning their previous match against RCB. CSK found themselves in murky waters early in the season but their performance has raised the hopes of their fans. These are still early days in the tournament. Ruling out the chances of CSK qualifying for the playoffs would be immature at this point. The way ahead looks difficult for CSK, and it&#8217;s an apt time for the plentiful loyal fans to back them.

Here are 3 Reasons Why CSK Can Still Qualify for the Playoffs:

Robin Uthappa was KKR&#8217;s biggest weapon in the league&#8217;s previous edition. He was one of KKR&#8217;s stars in the title winning efforts in 2012 and 2014. He was the top scorer as well as the &#8220;Orange cap&#8221; holder in 2014. However, this season he failed to score big in the first four matches. However, he kept getting starts.

In what is a positive sign for the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-felt-it-was-the-time-to-take-him-on-robin-uthappa-on-onslaught-against-glenn-maxwell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Robin Uthappa</strong></a> played a tremendous knock in the previous match. He scored 88 runs off just 50 balls against RCB. In doing so, he announced himself again making a strong statement.

As we know about his reputation as a slow starter from the previous editions, he has raised the hopes of fans. In-form Uthappa will give a huge boost to the CSK’s batting line-up which has been suffering in the tournament so far. CSK would want Uthappa to bat in the same fashion now for the rest of the season.

2- Presence of experienced players in the squad

It’s a no-brainer that Chennai Super Kings have always been a storehouse for veteran players. They know their way around in these types of situations and can make a comeback at any point.

The presence of experienced players like Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-helped-me-to-improve-my-game-shivam-dube/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a>, etc. make a big impact on the side. These players have been in this situation before and can help their side pull off a string of wins in the near future.

The presence of the former Indian Captain MS Dhoni has always been a plus point for CSK. He is a veteran and one of the best players one can ask for in these type of situations. He led CSK since the 2008 season and the way he helped Jadeja in setting fields against RCB, surely no one can write off CSK as of now.

The presence of young talent in CSK has not always been their strong point as it has been a team of veterans for many years. But this year, CSK has broken out of those shackles and recruited a bunch of exciting young talents.

These young players have some serious potential. The hope of taking CSK into the playoffs lies with them. Young players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/a-six-hitting-masterclass-twitter-in-awe-of-robin-uthappa-and-shivam-dube-after-csk-post-216-vs-rcb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shivam Dube</strong></a>, Tushar Deshpande, KM Asif, etc. are a capable lot. They can take their team forward from this dire situation and into the playoffs.

Dube showed off his potential in the previous game while Mukesh Choudhary is being backed by the franchise well. The left-arm seamer swung the new ball well against RCB and if he manages to keep his nerves in pressure situations, Mukesh can indeed come out as one of the emerging players of the season.
