Two of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are struggling to make an impact this season. Both teams have lost their first three games and are yet to make an impact on the points table.
Both CSK and MI have lost their first three games in IPL 2022. The five-time champions MI are right now in ninth place in the table. On the other hand, defending champions CSK are in eighth place.
CSK have already lost their first three matches of the season for the first time in their history. In any case, this may not come as a surprise due to their frantic consistency all through the a long time. Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Punjab Kings are the teams to win against CSK so far.
Despite losing their first three games, which team made the playoffs?
Unlike CSK, MI are in a scenario where they’ve “been there, done that.” They’ve lost to the Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and Kolkata Knight Riders so far. Their recent loss to KKR will sting Rohit Sharma and his team even more. Pat Cummins swept them away en route to the joint-fastest fifty in IPL history.
Mumbai Indians in the IPL were the last club to make it to the playoffs after losing their first three games of the season. This will come as a pleasant surprise to their supporters. Instead, in 2014 and 2015, they did it for two seasons in a row.
