GT vs DC Dream11 Prediction

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: CSK Playing 11 vs PBKS (Predicted), IPL 2022, Match 11, CSK vs PBKS

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Ruturaj Gaikwad had a stellar season last year. He finished the tournament as the highest run-getter (Orange Cap winner). In 16 matches, he managed to score 635 runs at an average of 45.36 and a strike rate of close to 140. He was dismissed without scoring against KKR in the opening fixture and was run-out for 1 in the next game against Lucknow Super Giants.

Robin Uthappa

Robin Uthappa has played for various franchises since IPL 2008. Last season, the right-handed batsman scored 115 runs in 4 games for the Chennai Super Kings team with 1 fifty.

He scored 28 against KKR before being stumped by Sheldon Jackson off Varun  Chakravarthy in the first match but scored 50 off 27 balls in the next match against Lucknow, but it went in vain despite Chennai Super Kings scoring 210/7.

Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali, the CSK all-rounder, played in CSK’s second match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) after finishing his three-day quarantine period. Moeen Ali has been one of the best performers for the yellow army in 15 matches, Moeen Ali picked 6 wickets and made 357 runs with the highest score of 58 at a strike rate of 137.30 and hit 19 sixes and 31 fours for the MS Dhoni-led team.

Moeen Ali scored a brisk 35 off 22 balls including 4 boundaries and 2 sixes but disappointed while bowling, conceding 14 runs off the only over he bowled against Lucknow.

Ambati Rayudu

Ambati Rayudu will be the middle-order batsman for the team in the opening game against KKR in IPL 2022. CSK bought the right-handed batsman during the auction. Ambati Rayudu played for CSK in the last season too. He scored 257 runs in 13 innings with 2 fifties.

Ambati Rayudu scored 27 off 20 balls before being bowled by Lucknow’s Ravi Bishnoi. He had scored 15 off 17 in the opening fixture of IPL 2022 against Kolkata Knight riders before being run out.

Ravindra Jadeja (C)

Ravindra Jadeja, an all-rounder, will lead the side as he has been handed over the captaincy for IPL 2022. Last season, Ravindra Jadeja was in fabulous form. He scored 227 runs in 12 innings and also picked 13 wickets. He will be a crucial player for the team.

Ravindra Jadeja had scored an unbeaten 26 off 28 balls against Kolkata and 17 off 9 balls against Lucknow. He had returned wicketless in both the outings.

MS Dhoni (WK)

MS Dhoni, who relinquished captaincy before his team’s opening fixture, played a phenomenal knock of unbeaten 50 from 38 balls that powered Chennai Super Kings to a decent score of 131 in the first innings against KKR in the ongoing IPL 2022, and he was involved in a 70-run stand with skipper Ravindra Jadeja.

MS Dhoni has struggled with the bat, scoring a combined total of 314 runs from 30 matches in the last two editions-IPL 2020 and IPL 2021. If his tally of 200 runs in IPL 2020 was disappointing, the following year was even worse as MS Dhoni aggregated only 114 runs.

He did well yet again against Lucknow, reversing his age as he scored another unbeaten knock of 16 off 6 balls but both innings went in vain.

Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube scored just three off six balls and gave away 11 runs in the only over he bowled against KKR in CSK’s first game of IPL 2022. Against Lucknow, he fared better scoring a brisk 49 off 30 balls including 5 fours and 2 sixes.

But he disappointed in bowling, giving away 25 runs in the only over he bowled, and was wicketless. The 19th over which he bowled tilted the game in Lucknow’s favor. But he may retain his place in XI.

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo might be another all-rounder and pacer for the team in  IPL 2022. Dwayne Bravo was picked during the auction for Rs. 4.4 crores. In the last few seasons, Dwayne Bravo has played for CSK. Last season, he picked 14 wickets in 11 games for the team before IPL 2022.

Dwayne Bravo broke Lasith Malinga’s record for most wickets in the history of IPL after picking a solitary scalp against Lucknow. He had valiant figures of 3/20 in CSK’s season-opening loss to KKR in Mumbai on Saturday. With the wicket of KKR’s new recruit Sam Billings in his final over on Saturday, Dwayne Bravo moved to 170 scalps, equaling Lasith Malinga’s record of most scalps.

Dwaine Pretorious

Dwaine Pretorious, the multi-dimensional cricketer has played 22 T20Is for South Africa and has scored 170 runs at a strike rate of 161.9. He has also picked 23 wickets at an average of 19.48. Dwaine Pretorius has maintained an economy rate of 7.77, which is outstanding. He has been an impactful performer for the Proteas but is playing the IPL 2022 for the first time.

He was dismissed 1st ball but picked 2 scalps conceding 31 runs in 4 overs and was the most economical pacer in Chennai Super Kings’ otherwise lackluster bowling performance.

Adam Milne

Adam Milne might be another pacer for Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of IPL 2022. Milne was picked during the auction for Rs. 1.9 crores. Last season, he was part of Mumbai Indians. He played 4 matches and scalped 3 wickets.

Adam Milne was injured after the game against KKR but will return against Punjab if he is fit and probably replaces the ineffective Mukesh Choudhary (0/39 in 3.3 overs against Lucknow). He missed the match against Lucknow and his absence was felt as Lucknow chased down 211 runs target.

Tushar Deshpande

Mumbai fast bowler Tushar Deshpande made his debut for four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings in their 2022 season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium.

Tushar Deshpande, 26, was bought by CSK for the base price of Rs 20 lakh during the IPL 2022 mega auction earlier this year. He may play in the Chennai Super Kings‘ next game against Punjab despite poor outings against Lucknow (1/40 in 4 overs) and Kolkata (0/23 in 3 overs).
