Yesterday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) became the first team to exit the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 following Rajasthan Royals victory over Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi. After losing eight out of their first eleven matches, CSK had a small chance of entering playoffs depending on the results of other teams.

Yesterday, CSK had a deserving 8-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their 12th match of the season, but the team was eliminated from the tournament as Rajasthan Royals crushed Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets. Now, CSK is at the bottom of the points table with 8 points from 12 matches.

With CSK failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in the history of IPL, MS Dhoni's wife Sakshi Dhoni has posted a heartfelt note on the three time champions. Her note read "It's just a game... you win some you lose some. Years gone by are witness to many enthralling victories and a few agonising defeats. Celebrating one and being heartbroken by the other. Some reasonable response others not so.Some win, some lose and others miss...it's just a game. Many preachers and varied reactions. Allow emotions not to beat the very essence of sportsmanship. it's just a game. No one wants to lose, but not all can be winners. When struck down, stunned, the walk back from the field seems long. jubilant sounds and sighs add to the pain, inner strength takes control. It's all just a game. You are winners then, you are winners now. True warriors are born to fight as they will".
