In their last IPL 2024 encounter at Chepauk, PBKS outclassed CSK by seven wickets. Only PBKS and Mumbai Indians have the distinction of defeating CSK five consecutive times. Interestingly, the inaugural IPL match held in Dharamsala featured CSK and PBKS. Jonny Bairstow has a formidable strike rate of 185.71 against CSK’s Moeen Ali. Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK’s batting mainstay, has recorded four fifty-plus scores in his last five outings. PBKS defeated Gujarat Titans and CSK in their recent victories, demonstrating their resurgence. However, they will miss the services of skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Jonny Bairstow’s stunning century against KKR and Harpreet Brar’s exceptional performance against CSK at Chepauk were instrumental in PBKS’s earlier triumphs.
