CSK vs PBKS Match Preview:

Chennai's batting lineup has been hot and cold this season. No one has been consistent. Shivam Dube began the season well but hasn't made an impact in the last few games. A Ruturaj Gaikwad special is the need of the hour for the Super Kings. 

Dwayne Bravo and Maheesh Theekshana have been doing well, keeping things tight and chipping with timely wickets. Mukesh Choudhary had a dream performance in the last game and will have a massive chunk of confidence going into this game. 

Punjab's batting approach is aggressive but the batters haven't responded well. On good days, the team has done well but on bad days, no one has stood up. Jonny Bairstow hasn't been able to make an impact and Bhanuka Rajapaksa will be in the scheme of things of the PBKS think-tank. Only Liam Livingstone has looked dangerous so far. 

Rahul Chahar has picked wickets while Arshdeep Singh has been economical. However, Punjab's bowling hasn't been able to dominate the teams as they would have liked. Kagiso Rabada will need to step up, especially in the powerplay.
