PBKS vs CSK: Chennai Super Kings’ Predicted Playing XI Against Punjab Kings, IPL 2022, Match 38 PBKS vs CSK

Ruturaj Gaikwad

Despite his wretched run of form, Gaikwad has been backed to the hilt by the Chennai Super Kings management. He bagged a first-ball duck against MI. He has scored 108 runs in the first seven-game with a best of 73 against Gujarat Titans.

Robin Uthappa

Uthappa has been a consistent performer for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022. So far he has scored 227 runs from seven games with a best of 88 against RCB. Uthappa is inching closer to 5000 IPL runs as well.

Moeen Ali / Dwaine Pretorius

Moeen Ali made way for Dwaine Pretorious in the last game against Mumbai Indians. The seam-bowling all-rounder played a handly cameo as well. Thus they may back him again in this game. However, in case CSK needs an extra spinning option apart from Santner, they can recall Moeen Ali into the XI.

Ambati Rayudu

Rayudu has been quietly contributing for Chennai Super Kings batting at number four. He has become a regular member of the side now. He scored a crucial 40 off 35 balls after CSK were reduced to 16/ 2.

Shivam Dube

Dube has been a hit and miss for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022 so far. He scored 57 when Chennai Super Kings played Punjab Kings in the first of the two games earlier in the season. He then scored his career-best 95 * against RCB. Dube will slot in at number five in the lineup.

Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja was a relieved man to get his second win as full-time CSK captain. He bowled four overs for 30 against Mumbai Indians and scored just three with the bat. However, he along with MS Dhoni becomes a crucial cog in the middle-order.

MS Dhoni

The former Chennai Super Kings skipper scored a 13-ball 28 to take his side home in IPL’s El Clasico. The management would ideally hope for him to continue his form for the remainder of the tournament.

Mitchell Santner

Santner can be the second spin option in the CSK playing XI. With the pitches starting to turn more in the second half of the season, he can be a handy option with the ball. He is handy with the ball too.

Dwayne Bravo

Bravo is the highest wicket-taker in the IPL and a long member of the Chennai Super Kings. He took 2 for 36 against Mumbai Indians and bowled a tight line and length in the death overs.

Maheesh Theekshana

Theekshana has been a revelation for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022. He took the key wicket of Kieron Pollard as MS Dhoni’s unique field placing grabbed the limelight. He should play all the remaining seven matches for CSK.

Mukesh Choudhary

The left-arm pacer picked up three early wickets against Mumbai to turn the match in CSK’s favour. He will be preferred in this match as well. This concludes the probable playing XI that CSK might choose in their match against Punjab Kings.
