Why CSK would need a miracle to enter last 4 of IPL 2022

CSK have only themselves to blame after today's defeat by around 13 odd runs. Although the margin of defeat looks small, it really looks like a huge defeat. They started off well, scoring over 50 runs in the power play but seem to have lost crucial wickets which ended in Dhoni holing out to deep midwicket, which effectively sealed the match in favor of RCB. CSK could have bowled a bit better after restricting RCB to around 155 runs in the 18th over or so. Even though Dinesh Karthik did well towards the end, it was an out an out all round display by RCB. CSK after winning their last game seem to have gone back to old ways. RCB at their end were a bit sluggish, with Kohli once again falling for 30 runs. He is yet to hit top form since last year. Overall, it was CSK's bad play that helped RCB rather than the other way around. RCB despite scoring 6 wins have only 3 more matches to seal a place, with other teams having more matches than them. It remains to be seen if they can still remain in the top 4. Let's wait and see.
