The defending champions Chennai super kings failed to make the playoffs of the 2022 season of IPL after losing their game to Mumbai Indians.
This is only the second time in IPL history that Chennai failed to qualify.
Here are the three reasons why Chennai failed to qualify for the playoffs
The leadership conundrum
MS Dhoni dropped a bombshell just one day ahead of IPL 2022 kick-off that he has handed over the CSK captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja. The team under Jadeja's leadership & failed to perform up to their mark. A few matches later, Jadeja handed back the captaincy duties to Dhoni.
Lack of wicket-takers in the powerplay
Chennai's costliest buy Deepak Chahar pulled his hamstring ahead of IPL 2022. To start with, he was ruled out for the first half of the tournament. During the rehab, he injured his back which ruled him out of the tournament. In absence of Chahar, Chennai failed to find a replacement for Chahar who could pick wickets in the powerplay. Mukesh Choudhary and Simarjeet Singh rose to the occasion in the latter half of the tournament but by that time it was too late for the four-time champions.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's poor form
Among the many mantras of Chennai's success in IPL, runs by the openers have been the most important one. However, Gaikwad's patchy form came as a major setback. Gaikwad who was the highest run-getter for CSK last season, got his mojo back in the second-half tournament which was again too late for the team.

The current KKR coach and New Zealand's legendary cricketer Brendon McCullum has been appointed as England's new head coach for Test matches on Thursday.
40-year-old McCullum will start his new role for the England cricket team against New Zealand in June if he would be able to obtain the necessary work visa.
In a press statement, McCullum said that Ben Stokes is the perfect character to inspire the change around him, and he is looking forward to working closely with him to build a formidable England Test team.

McCullum had played 101 Tests for New Zealand and captained the Kiwis from 2012 to his international retirement in 2016.
McCullum has scored 6453 runs in 101 Tests with 302 being his highest individual score.

Cricket fans expected Virat Kohli to score his long-awaited 71st international hundred during the Test series vs Sri Lanka but the plans of the former India captain were cut short by the visiting Sri Lankan bowlers.
After getting dismissed cheaply for 23 in the 1st innings of the Bengaluru Pink-ball Test, Kohli had a nearly similar dismissal in the 2nd innings as well when the ball kept low on the turning track.
The long wait for that elusive hundred continues as Virat Kohli has now had 73 innings in international cricket without a hundred.
With 81 runs in 3 innings during the Test series vs Sri Lanka, something unthinkable also happen as Virat Kohli’s Test average dropped below 50 for the first time since August 2017 and now stands at 49.95.
Ominous signs for the Delhi cricketer as his long slump in form has started to affect his legacy in Test cricket where he once roared like a lion and is now merely a bystander.
With 3 months of break from International cricket coming up, Virat Kohli will be next seen in India colours in June. With the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League about to start, the former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper will be hoping to turn the tide on his form.
Post the IPL, a lot of international cricket awaits Virat Kohli and his form and consistency will be key to Team India’s success.

IPL 2022: Punjab Kings will be squaring off against Delhi Capitals for the second time in IPL 2022 on Monday at Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai to keep their playoffs dream alive. 
Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings have been occasionally good this season as they have won just 6 out of 12 matches in this season and are placed at 7th spot on the points table. If Punjab somehow win their last two matches from here, they will definitely climb up the points table and can even qualify for the playoffs.
On the other hand, the situation is not much different for Delhi Capitals as they have also won 6 out of 12 matches and are placed at 5th spot. Delhi's run-rate is better than that of Punjab and a win will strengthen their chances to qualify for the playoffs.

Gujarat Titans have confirmed their flight for Kolkata to play the Qualifier 1 as they defeated Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets and registered their 10th win in IPL 2022 on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium.
Chasing a below-par 134-run target, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill put up a 59-run opening stand. Saha kept his wicket intact on one end and went on to score his fifty. He remained unbeaten on 67 runs as Gujarat chased down the target easily with 5 balls to spare.
Earlier, Chennai were off to a poor start as Mohammed Shami removed Devon Conway early. Gaikwad then forged a 57-run stand with Moeen Ali and steadied CSK innings. Gaikwad went on to score a fifty but failed to up the ante. Meanwhile, CSK suffered a middle-order collapse and could add only 24 runs in the last five overs. Narayan Jagadeesan remained unbeaten on 39 off 33 balls as CSK post 133-5 in 20 overs.

"T20 is good for the game but not for ego", the former Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds had once said after failing to defend 17 runs inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League against Shane Warne.
The demise of Symonds shocked the cricketing world which was still mourning the death of legendary Shane Warne.
Here are some of Symonds' best moments while playing the game he loved the most.
2003 World Cup vs Pakistan
Andrew Symonds filled in the boots of Michael Bevan and took Australia out of shambles in their 2003 World Cup opener against Pakistan. From 146-5 in 30th over, Australia went to score 310-8, all because of Symonds' 143 not out off 125 balls.
Sydney Test: 2008 vs India
Though the match was first marred by Umpiring controversy, Symonds displayed his tremendous temperament and scored 162 not out against India in the Sydney Test. This time, Symonds took Australia out from 134-6 in the first innings and scalped two crucial wickets in the second innings. But his prolific innings was marred by the monkey gate scandal as Symonds alleged Harbhajan Singh for using a racial slur against him.
117 no vs RR in 2008 ipl
Two months after the monkey gate scandal, Andrew Symonds emerged as the most expensive foreign buy in the inaugural edition of IPL. While representing now-defunct Deccan Charges, Symonds steamrolled the Warne's Rajasthan Royals' bowlers and slammed 116 off 53 balls. But he failed to take his team home as he was not able to defend 17 runs in the last over against Warne who tonked his Australian counterpart for a Four and two sixes.
