Maxwell, who was purchased for Rs 4.2 crore, has done a disappointing season with the bat, scoring just 48 runs in seven matches.
While he managed to take four wickets, his overall performance decreased by expectations, and his absence now leaves a significant hole in PBKS mid -order.
PBKs will still return themselves to perform in Chepuk, in the match with five wins from nine matches and finished fifth on the table.
With the playoffs in vision, they will look at their position with a winning CSK to cement their position.
For Chennai, it is a do-or-dai clash. At the bottom of the table with just two wins in nine matches, Super Kings are desperate to rule their campaign.
Despite MS Dhoni’s return as captain after Ruturaj Gikwad’s injury, CSK has failed to turn things. The poor form from senior players like Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Rabindra, and Mathesh Pathirana has hurt their opportunities badly.
However, CSK has received hope in the young Ayush Matre, who affected her debut and will again be important against the powerful bowling attack of PBKS, especially in the powerplay against Arshdeep Singh.
The duality between Shivam Dub and Yuzvendra Chahal in the middle overs can also prove to be decisive.
Everything is to play everything for both teams, fans can expect a high-handed performance tonight in Chennai.
