Pitch Report

Since it is an afternoon game there will enough runs on the board for both the sides. The team that wins the toss could bat first and look to make use of the cooler conditions during the latter half of the day to get the ball swinging.

Ruturaj Gaikwad CSK | BAT

Chennai Super Kings skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in terrific form in the last few games. The right-handed batter is now the leading run scorer in IPL 2024 with 509 runs. One century and a few fifties have shown how dangerous he can be with the bat.

8
C

Jonny Bairstow PBKS | WK

England star Jonny Bairstow has comeback to his best form with the bat in the last few games. His century aided PBKS chase down a world record score vs KKR. This was followed by his crucial innings vs CSK that helped PBKS win against the defending champions.

7
C

Shivam Dubey CSK | ALL

The 30-year-old has been in blistering form with the bat during the recent season of IPL. Shivam Dubey has given CSK the ability to end the innings on a high with his aggressive batting and big hitting skills.

8.5

Sam Curran PBKS | ALL

Punjab Kings have seen their fortunes change in the last few games thanks to the captaincy by Sam Curran. The young England all-rounder has led his side well to climb up in the points table and keep themselves in the hunt for a place in the playoffs.

9

Ravindra Jadeja CSK | ALL

The last few games have been quiet for Ravindra Jadeja but considering his class and talent he will be a huge player with the bat and ball vs PBKS. The 35-year-old will look to get back into his groove with the huge T20 World Cup around the corner.

8.5

Harpreet Brar PBKS | BOWL

IPL 2024 has seen Harpreet Brar get his form back and he has been one of the best spinners of the season. The left-arm was the reason why PBKS could stifle the run-scoring threat of CSK and restrict them to a mere 162 when the teams played each other a few days ago.

7.5

Ajinkya Rahane CSK | BAT

Chennai Super Kings have given Ajinkya Rahane a chance to go back to the opening slot and express himself. The veteran India batter found the going tough early but has found his rhythm but would want to score more runs in order to justify this push.

8

Shashank Singh PBKS | ALL

It has been a great showing with the bat for Shashank Singh as he has grabbed a lot of attention with his batting. The veteran batter will want to continue his big hitting form and make sure to keep going and help his team win the game and move towards the top four slot.

8

MS Dhoni CSK | WK

In what is being touted as his last season, the former India and CSK skipper has done more than enough to enthrall the fans with the bat. MS Dhoni will want to bow out on a high in a ground where played one of his most pivotal IPL knocks 14 years ago.

Jitesh Sharma

PBKS | WK

After coming into attention for his big hitting during IPL 2023 season, Jitesh Sharma has lost his touch this year. His poor showing has also led him to be overlooked for the Indian squad that was named for the T20 World Cup 2024.

8.5

Shardul Thakur

CSK | BOWL

It hasn't been a great return to Chennai Super Kings for Shardul Thakur. In the last game he was smashed for 48 runs from 3.4 overs as the PBKS batters hit him to all parts of the ground.
