The next IPL 2023 encounter between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings will take place on Sunday. The Shikhar Dhawan-led team will enter this match having suffered a significant 56-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants. The second-highest total in tournament history was allowed by PBKS in their match against LSG in Mohali, where they gave up 257 runs. Dhawan, the team’s captain, returned to play after missing a few games due to injury. The team is likely to contain all-rounder Harpeet Brar, who was benched against LSG because Chepauk is seen of as a spin-friendly pitch.
Inconsistency has plagued Punjab Kings, and the team’s performance on Friday was not helped by the team’s captain returning.
The PBKS batters made good progress toward a challenging aim while trying to reach 200 runs, but they were unable to lead the team over the finish line. Against the spin-heavy CSK, they will have their work cut out for them.
Dhawan, Prabhsimran Singh, and Atharva Taide make up the top order, which has to get going because Liam Livingstone is yet to find his footing and collect a significant score. Sam Curran was instrumental in the team’s victory over the Mumbai Indians, and his contributions with the bat and the ball are crucial.
