This match is more than just another stability-this is a one-or-death position for the five-time champion. Meanwhile, PBK, sitting comfortably in fifth place with five wins, is looking to strengthen his top-four opportunities against a struggling CSK organization.
Once a major force in Chepack, CSK has shocked four of its five domestic sports this season. Injuries and form slums have distressed the side, including a leadership reshuffle that saw that MS Dhoni rebelled after Ruturaj Gikawad’s elbow injury. Even Dhoni’s strategic talent is not able to reversed his luck.
Veterans like Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Matheesha Pathirana have performed weakly, while Rachin Ravindra and Middle Order have fought to give continuously. A rare bright place has been a promising Ayush Mhatray, which will need to take a step once again against PBKS’s bowling Spearhead Arshdeep Singh.
Yuzvendra Chahal, back to the top form for PBK, is a major threat in the middle overs, especially in a possible conflict with Shivam Dubey. PBKS, Priyash Arya and Prabhasimran Singh look balanced with a solid top order, which is a trusted number 3 in Shreyas Iyer, and all the dizziness in Marco Jansen.
While CSK is injured and unexpected, if the lead players set fire they remain dangerous. But with pbks riding a wave of motion, the edge appears with visitors in front of this high-dot fight in the chapack.
