With the regular season of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) gradually coming to an end, Chennai Super Kings ( CSK ), in all likelihood, are bound to finish bottom of the league standings. After a disastrous campaign, the Men in Yellow could not manoeuvre the situation back on track to pull themselves out of the pit they fell into early in the season.
The injury of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni taking charge of the team, and the side's inability to power through oppositions and chase down games saw them lose game after game this year. With just one more game to go for the five-time IPL winners, only three wins and six points can be shown for a season to forget.

In CSK's penultimate game of the season, the side played Rajasthan Royals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. After setting a target of 187 in 20 overs, the RR batting contingent tore through CSK's bowlers, achieving the target with 17 balls to spare. With just one more game to go for the IPL giant, they are at the very bottom among the 10 sides that are part of the 18th season.
While winning their final game against GT will bring them level on points with RR, their inferior net run rate (NRR) of -1.030 will likely prevent them from escaping the unwanted title of the wooden spoon.

How many times have CSK finished bottom of the IPL?
Therefore, there remains the question of how many times CSK have finished last in the IPL in its history. The answer is never. In fact, the closest they've come to a bottom-place finish is in 2022 (9th) and in 2020 (finished 7th with a total of 8 competing teams).
The side have been so dominant over the years that they have achieved 6 second-place finishes and have topped the table twice -- in 2013 and 2015.
