Chennai Super Kings will be back in action at Chepauk when they face a resurgent Punjab Kings. Both teams come off wins from their previous games and will be willing to grab 2 points at all costs. For PBKS, a big boost will be the likely return of skipper Shikhar Dhawan in the Playing XI.
CSK bank on Conistency
One of the key factors for Chennai Super Kings is their consistency. A win for CSK can take them to the second spot in the Points Table. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Co come off after a huge 78 run win against SRH in the previous game. The Yellow Army will be adamant to make any changes to their already set and established Playing XI.
Shikhar Dhawan returns for PBKS
It is good news for Punjab Kings. Skipper and destructive southpaw Shikhar Dhawan is likely to return to action after his shoulder injury in IPL 2024. PBKS are brimming with confidence after their 8-wicket win against KKR. The Punjab Kings side went on to chase down a massive total of 262 and thus will be ready to face the Yellow Army at their den.
