CSK vs PBKS Match Preview: There are reports that the captain Shikhar Dhawan is going to make a re-entry in today's match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings in Chepauk.
CSK vs PBKS Match Preview: The 17th season of IPL (IPL 2024) known as Indian Premier League (Indian Premier League) is currently taking place in a hectic environment. With all the teams having played at least 9 or 10 league games, all 10 teams are still fighting to qualify for the play-off round. Mumbai and Bengaluru teams are a bit hopeful even though they are in the last 9th and 10th place respectively.
Similarly, even though Punjab Kings are at the 8th position, they are still leading the play-off race. Punjab Kings were strong from the first match but their slightly poor combination did not give them victory. Especially after the injury of Shikhar Dhawan, the opening of the team was also moderate.
Punjab made a historic chase of 262 against Kolkata at the Eden Gardens. After that, the Punjab team, which has now come directly to Chepauk, Chennai, will meet the Chennai Super Kings team today. Prabsimran Singh and Bairstow returned to form in the last match. The middle order consists of Rousseau, Sam Karan, Shashank Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Ashutosh Sharma and Harpreet Brar.
Maybe Chennai will have a problem today if that team gets a chase at Chepauk Stadium as well. In that sense, we can hope that the Chennai Super Kings team will not make any changes in their playing eleven today. Rahane's opening in the batting order is a big problem. However, CSK will give him another chance.
CSK's batting
Ruturaj Gaikwad has been playing big innings of 108 and 98 in Chepauk, so expect him to shine with the batting today. Mitchell, Dubey, Moeen Ali, Jadeja and Dhoni are doing well in the middle order in One Town. It is also worth noting that Shardul Thakur, who will come in as an impact player, has not played batting yet.
Bowling problem
Sam Karan, Rabada, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh are lined up for the bowling of the Punjab Kings team. Although all are good bowlers, scoring too many runs is a problem for Punjab. Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar are batting well.
Similarly, in CSK, Tusshar Deshpande, Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur have bowled well, but only Deepak Sahar continues to fail. He should have taken the wicket in the powerplay. Jadeja and Moeen Ali will be CSK's spinners.
Will Dhawan come?
As said earlier, there will be no major changes in both the teams. Whether captain Shikhar Dhawan will recover from injury for Punjab is also a question mark. Prabsimran Singh can be an impact player if he comes. Even today the team winning the toss will decide to bowl, so the toss is important.
face to face
So far CSK - Punjab team (CSK vs PBKS) has played 28 matches, CSK has won 15 matches and Punjab has won 13 matches. CSK has won 4 matches and Punjab has won 3 matches out of 7 matches played in Chepauk. It is to be recalled that in the last year's league match, Punjab defeated Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets.
