Chennai Super Kings will have to treat every remaining game as a “final” after their defeat to Lucknow Super Giants left their IPL campaign hanging by a thread, said batting coach Michael Hussey.
The five-time champions now staring at a virtual must-win situation in their final two league matches.
CSK were outplayed by an already-eliminated LSG side as Mitchell Marsh’s blistering 38-ball 90 powered the hosts to a comfortable chase of 188 on a pace-friendly surface on Friday.
The defeat left Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side stranded on 12 points from 13 matches, turning their final two league fixtures into virtual knockout contests.
“Well, I mean, I actually love this time of the tournament because it’s like every game is like a final, you know, and we’re in that situation now,” Hussey said, with CSK now needing victories in both their remaining games while also relying on a few other results to go in their favour.
