Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 53 of IPL 2024 at the Dharamshala Cricket Stadium in Himachal Pradesh. The match will begin at 3:3 pm IST with the toss taking place at 3:00 pm IST. This is the reverse fixture between CSK and PBKS with the latter winning away from home in their last match.
Harpreet Brar was the star of Punjab Kings when the last took on CSK in Chepauk. Later, batting contributions from Shashank Singh ensured PBKS' revival in IPL 2024. CSK, on the other hand, have struggled for players in IPL 2024.
Despite a good start to their campaign, they have been off track lately and have lost 3 out of the 4 games that the Chennai Super Kings have played. The franchise is battling with injury and availability concerns as their star opener Devon Conway was ruled out for the entire IPL.
Rachin Rvaindra started off brilliantly but his form faded away and hence, the New Zealander had to be benched. Deepak Chahar got injured in the last game against Punjab and could bowl only a couple of balls before walking off the field. His return to IPL 2024 is highly unlikely.
Mustafizur Rahman has returned to Bangladesh to fulfill his national commitment in the T20I series against Zimbabwe. Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, and Ravindra Jadeja have struggled to find their form in this year's IPL and hence, this will be a very important game for CSK if they have to remain in the IPL playoffs contention.
Ruturaj Gaikwad's luck with the toss hasn't been great either and the new Chennai Super Kings captain has lost 9 out of the 10 coin tosses in IPL 2024. MS Dhoni along with Gaikwad and Shivam Dube have been the stalwarts with the bat this season for CSK.
Matheesha Pathirana has spearheaded the CSK bowling attack in IPL 2024 and the Men in Yellow will be hoping for his and Tushar Deshpande's return to the playing 11 vs Punjab Kings. Both the players missed out in the last fixture at home.
