KXIP have won 2 match in a row. They have won just 3 of 9 matches. Do you think they can play in the playoff?
They have 5 matches remaining, and they need to win almost all of these matches if they want to qualify for the playoffs. And it is going to be tough, as their next matches are against very strong teams (vs Delhi Capitals tomorrow, and then against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 24th October). My guess is that they need to win at least 4 out of the remaining 5 matches. I don't think that it is possible.
Winning all 5 matches is so difficult, but not impossible! I've seen their next match is against DC. Winning a match against DC is a big challenge for the team KXIP. If they are able to defeat DC then I think they have the ability to play in the playoff.
Anything is possible in cricket and after Chris Gayle coming back KXIP are a different team now. It is tough for them to win all the five matches but it is not impossible. They will give a tough fight to DC in the next match that I am sure.
At the moment DC are on top in the point table and they are playing exceptionally well as a team in this season of IPL.
Chris Gayle is unpredictable and when he gets in form, he is one man army which in previous IPL season we have seen it. The doors for Punjab to top 4 is still open but will be very difficult. And yesterday was a sort of history for us. Never seen in IPL 2 matches in a day which end up as a tie and super over is a decider. It was an eventful day yesterday to watch the match till the last ball.
