Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team is still in third spot even after a rollercoaster campaign so far.
CSK, who have mostly won at their home venue, earned 14 points so far, and a win over RCB in their last league stage game must be sufficient for them due to the better run rate from below placed teams.
