10. 112 All Out vs Mumbai Indians (2012)
Despite playing at home, CSK failed to counter Mumbai’s disciplined bowling attack. The chase never gained momentum as wickets fell at regular intervals, leading to a below-par total.
9. 112/9 vs Delhi Daredevils (2010)

6. 110/8 vs Delhi Daredevils (2012)
CSK never recovered after a poor powerplay in Delhi. With wickets tumbling consistently, the innings never reached a competitive position.
5. 109 All Out vs Mumbai Indians (2019)
CSK and Mumbai Indians share a fierce rivalry, but this match at Chepauk turned one-sided. Chasing 156 on a slow surface, CSK’s batting faltered badly.
Malinga, Bumrah and Hardik Pandya combined to dismantle the batting unit, handing CSK a 46-run defeat at home.
