Chennai Super Kings (CSK) slipped to a four-wicket defeat against Punjab Kings in match number 49 of the IPL 2025 season at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. The outcome also prompted the MS Dhoni-led franchise to become the first team to get eliminated from the season.
The ‘Yellow Brigade’ continue to sit at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, having secured just two wins and sustained eight defeats from 10 matches. Soon after CSK’s defeat to Punjab Kings, a legion of fans flocked to social media to express their reactions over the result. While some fans made hilarious memes at the expense of MS Dhoni’s dejected troops, others expressed sympathy and support in hope of a better performance next season.
Fans react to CSK’s early elimination
Indian cricket fans took to X and expressed their reactions over CSK’s crashing defeat to Punjab Kings at home. Several fans took this opportunity to troll legendary wicketkeeper-batter and team captain MS Dhoni with hilarious memes on the internet. However, some fans also expressed their support for the five-time winners amidst their struggles. Here is a look at some of the fans reacting to CSK’s early elimination:
“CSK - FIRST TEAM TO BE OFFICIALLY OUT OF IPL 2025 PLAYOFFS RACE.” - @mufaddal_vohra
“Eliminated” - @Sivaraj_Twitz
“Csk forever Comeback Next Season more stronger” - @MKARTHI86294612
“Mood Right now #PBSKvsCSk” - @mysterious45_
“That’s all folks!!! CSK’s IPL 2025 journey officially ends today CSK will play remaining games for pride!” - @oye_nilesh
CSK has now suffered big defeats in three successive games, and is yet to record a single win at home this IPL 2025 season ever since winning their tournament opener against Mumbai Indians.
With campaign buried in the ground, MS Dhoni and co. will be aiming to disrupt other team’s momentum in a bid to end their dismal season on a high note. They will now face age-old rivals RCB in match number 52 of the competition on Saturday, May 3 in Bengaluru.
