If CSK loses today's match, it will become the only team in the current season to have lost more matches.

For KXIP, it was a much-needed victory but they eventually turned it into a much stylish and impeccable win.

Having been pushed to cement the winning momentum strongly, CSK's MS Dhoni has been preparing to take on Delhi with some of the tricks to apply brakes on the victorious DC.

Mumbai has elevated to the top spot after registering five consecutive victories and with the pacing victories, Mumbai Indians had largely increased the possibilities of reserving the berth in the playoffs.

Dinesh Karthik's decision of stepping down as the captain has come when KKR is getting ready for its battle against the triumphing Mumbai Indians on Friday in Abu Dhabi.

CSK must prepare to take on the shining teams in upcoming days and it must win at least five matches out of six to reserve a berth in the playoffs.

The men in yellow had lost five matches including a hat-trick defeat and the team had shown that it is yet to fix the faltering batting line-up to have a tenacious revival for the rest of the season.

This victory of RCB can be credited to the fantastic batting display of AB de Villiers and the brilliant captaincy of Virat Kohli.

The defeat had put the flawed performance to light and pushed the team to fix what's going wrong despite being left with lesser possibilities to enter the playoffs.

For Dhoni's army, it's a must-win with no plan B and with no second thought as the CSK should have a strong resurgence in the upcoming matches to reserve a berth in the play-offs.
