Meanwhile, the Aiden Markram-led side did not fare well this IPL season, finishing second in the 10-team points table. With only five matches remaining in the league stage, they have a tough road ahead if they want to secure a place in the playoffs. It's a do-or-die situation for them, as a single defeat or sharing of points in any of the remaining matches could spell the end of their campaign.
