Both teams are eager to rebound after recent losses, making this a crucial encounter for their standings in the tournament. PBKS started the season with two consecutive victories but faced a setback in their recent match against the Rajasthan Royals, losing by 50 runs. Despite the standout performance from Nehal Wadhera (62 off 41), the failure of the top order hampered Punjab Kings’ chances to continue the unbeaten run. The team aims to regain momentum in this fixture. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have played four matches in the IPL 2025 season, securing one win and suffering three losses. After the victory in the first game of the season against the Mumbai Indians, CSK has now lost the next three games against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Rajasthan Royals, and the Delhi Capitals. All three losses have come chasing the target. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Priyansh Arya will open the innings with Prabhasimran Singh. Arya played a knock of 47 runs off 23 deliveries against Gujarat Titans while Singh scored a half-century (69 off 34) in the second game. PBKS’ skipper Shreyas Iyer will be the batter to watch out for. Iyer has scored two unbeaten half-centuries (97* & 52*) in the first two games, hitting 13 sixes. Nehal Wadhera will come at number four. Wadhera scored 62 off 41 balls in the last game. Shashank Singh will come in the middle with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Singh scored 44 off 16 balls in the second game. But in the last game, he managed to score just 10 off 13 balls.  Maxwell scored 30 runs in the last game but has picked up two wickets with the ball so far. On the other hand, Stoinis has had a poor run with the bat and the ball this season. Arshdeep Singh will lead the bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson and Marco Jenson. Singh will be the bowler to watch out for. He has picked up 6 wickets in the three games. His economy is just below 10. Jansen has two wickets while Ferguson has three in two games. The PBKS bowlers are yet to show their strength. Chahal will be the lead spinner in the bowling attack. Chennai Super Kings Preview Just four matches into IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings have already rotated through 17 players, including all seven of their overseas options, as they continue to search for the right balance and a winning formula. Ruturaj Gaikwad will open the innings with Rachin Ravindra. Gaikwad has 121 runs in four games with two half-centuries at a strike rate of 155 – the highest among the batters. He will be the batter to watch out for. Ravindra has 109 runs in four games. Conway will come in at number three. He scored 13 runs in the last game.  Vijay Shankar will come in the middle with Ravindra Jadeja and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Shankar played a knock of 69 runs in the last game. Jadeja has been poor with the bat, posting 76 runs. He has just two wickets with the ball so far. MS Dhoni has 76 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 138. CSK is facing trouble with their super-sub Shivam Dube. Dube has just 64 runs in four innings. Noor Ahmed will lead the bowling attack with Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed. Noor has 10 wickets in four games at an average of 11.80 – the lowest among the bowlers. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Khalleel has also picked up 8 wickets at an average of 15. On the other hand, Pathirana has 5 wickets in three games. CSK spinners are yet to find their magic with Ashwin leading the attack. Weather Conditions The weather at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 19 and 37 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-14 km/h. Rain is expected with the lightning.  It is a batting-friendly pitch. As the game progresses and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably.  PBKS vs CSK Pitch Report The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh, 7:30 p.m. onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 38,000 spectators. Toss: To Bowl In the last IPL season, five games were played at this venue. The results have favored the team chasing the target on three occasions.

IPL 2024, PBKS vs CSK: Punjab are still in race for playoffs, says optimistic Harshal Patel

IPL 2024, PBKS vs CSK: Punjab are still in race for playoffs, says optimistic Harshal Patel

Harshal Patel said that PBKS are still in with a good chance of making their way through to the playoffs in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. On Sunday, May 5, PBKS lost to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK by 28 runs at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. With the defeat, Punjab kept languishing in the bottom half of the table with 8 points and a net run rate of -0.187 thanks to wins in 4 out of 11 matches. With 3 games left in the league stage, PBKS are in a must-win position from here on. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule ‘We can beat any team’ “We just need to play good cricket. In terms of playoffs race, in 13 years of playing in the IPL, I have never seen teams out of the race or qualified before 13 and 14 games are done. So, we are still in the race,” Harshal told in the post-match press conference. “As a team, we know that when we play high quality cricket, and everyone does their job, we play our roles well. We know that we can beat any team on any ground,” Harshal added. After opting to bowl first, PBKS restricted their opponents to 167 for 9 in 20 overs. Harshal was impressive after he got the wickets of Daryl Mitchell, Shardul Thakur and MS Dhoni to finish with figures of 4-0-24-3. PBKS faltered in the batting department and were restricted to 139 for 9. Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh scored 30 and 27 runs respectively, but failed to take their team home. Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets and did not let the Punjab batters get away. The Kings will next be up against Faf du Plessis’ RCB on Thursday, May 9 in Dharamsala.

IPL-17: PBKS vs CSK | We were 15-20 runs short but did not bowl any loose balls, says Ravindra Jadeja

Moorthy Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja admitted that they fell short by 15-20 runs but lauded their disciplined bowling show in securing a convincing 28-run over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League in Dharamsala on May 5. Defending 167 for nine, the five-time champions restricted Punjab Kings to 139/9 with Jadeja claiming a match-winning 3/20, while Tushar Deshpande (2/35) and impact sub Simarjeet Singh (2/16) also featured among wickets. Mitchell Santner, who was playing his first match of the season, was also brilliant during his tidy 1/10 from three overs. “We thought we were 15-20 runs short but we did not bowl loose balls in the power play and in the middle overs,” Jadeja said at the post-match presentation. “The fast bowlers bowled well in the power play. Tushar got two important wickets and then Mitch and me did the job in the middle overs.” Jadeja struck a crucial 26-ball 43 and the knock came at a time when PBKS were chipping away with regular wickets. Jadeja said it was tricky batting in the middle overs. “It was a day game, so the wicket was slow. As usual, it was expected because it was so hot. “It (the pitch) always seems flat in the power play. But when the ball gets old, it does not always come on. When playing at a new venue, you don’t know how much it will turn or stop. “My role as a batter is to build partnerships and then play the big shots towards the end. Sometimes, when we lose wickets in the power play, we do not get momentum. In the matches we win, we play all phases well,” said Jadeja. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad made a 21-ball 32, while Daryl Mitchell looked in full flow in a 19-ball 30, taking the team to 60/1 in the power play. Everyone believed that the wicket was slow and the ball was coming off slow. There was low bounce too. With the start we got, we could have pushed to 180-200. We lost wickets in consecutive balls and then felt 160-170 was probably ten odd runs short,” said Gaikwad. It’s not too late for Simarjeet: Gaikwad Simarjeet impressed with his pace after he came in as an Impact Player replacing Ajinkya Rahane. “I don’t know what he is doing but in the pre-season we had, he was bowling at around 150s. “We had Deepak (Chahar), Shardul (Thakur), Tushar (Deshpande) plus (Matheesha) Pathirana and Fizz (Mustafizur Rahman), so he did not get too many chances. Nothing is late, he got a game today. “We were thinking of sending an impact batter but we thought the impact batter would score 10-15 runs but the bowler might get us two-three wickets,” Gaikwad said.

Ruturaj Gaikwad equals all-time unwanted captaincy record in IPL after losing toss in PBKS vs CSK clash – India TV

Ruturaj Gaikwad equals all-time unwanted captaincy record in IPL after losing toss in PBKS vs CSK clash – India TV

Image Source : BCCI/IPL Sam Curran and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has levelled an all-time unwanted captaincy record in the history of the Indian Premier League during the toss ceremony in the Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings clash at HPCA Dharamsala. Gaikwad’s CSK were asked to bat first after PBKS skipper Sam Curran won the toss in the first match of the season at the picturesque venue. While CSK were forced to make an unforced change to their Playing XI due to the unavailability of Mustafizur Rahman, Gaikwad has equalled an unwanted record in the history of the tournament. His love affair with losing the tosses has continued even in the game against PBKS. Gaikwad has now equalled the record of most tosses lost in the first 11 matches of an IPL.  The toss-loss against PBKS was the tenth instance of Gaikwad losing the flip-of-the-coin in the ongoing season of the tournament. He levelled the record earlier held by only Sanju Samson, who lost 10 tosses as well in Rajasthan Royals’ first 10 games of the season. Most tosses lost in the first 11 games of an IPL season 10 – RR in 2022 10 – CSK in 2024 9 – MI in 2011 9 – DC in 2013 Notably after winning the toss against CSK, Curran wanted to chase to have a better look at the surface. “We’re going to bowl. Day game, try and see how it plays and chase it down. We’ve got the same team. We’ve had two really good wins with the same team. Conditions should be fairly even throughout, it’s about batting, bowling and fielding well,” Curran, who is the stand-in skipper in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, said at the toss. “We’ve just stuck to our process and doing little things right. We don’t look at the track record of the opposition, we focus on ourselves and see what we can do right. This season there have been a lot of injuries, flus and forced changes so we’ve had to tinker with our team. I’d say losing 10 tosses but winning 5 games is a positive. Santner comes in place of Fizz,” Gaikwad said after losing yet another toss.

After winning the toss, PBKS captain Sam Curran said “they fancy their chances of chasing here. We are playing the same team.” CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said “We lost nine out ten tosses so far.

It is a positive.” He further added “Santner has come into the team in place of Mustafizur.” The teams Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni (wk), Mitchell Santner, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Richard Gleeson, Punjab Kings: Jonny Bairstow, Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh, Sam Curran (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh

Chennai have lost three of their last four games, injury to Deepak Chahar will not help, Mustafizur Rahman has already left and the skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is yet to win a toss. In Dharamsala however, the toss won’t matter much, especially since it’s a day game and a fresh wicket with small boundaries is likely to help the batters across the 40 overs. Punjab still have the destiny in their own hands and they have to believe that they can make a difference, given the table fluctuations so much so that, if they win on Sunday, three teams will be with 10 points in 11 games. Delhi already have played 11 matches with five wins and six losses and both Punjab and Chennai will be on the same level as the Rishabh Pant-led side.

The game will be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala and will start at 3:30 PM IST on May 5. PBKS defeated CSK in the last game to keep playoff hopes alive. PBKS have four wins in 10 games and their chances of reaching the playoffs hang by a thread. The only way PBKS can reach the playoffs is to win all their remaining games. This will help the team reach 16 points and qualify for the playoffs.  Meanwhile, CSK have five wins and as many defeats in 10 games. CSK chances of reaching the playoffs took a massive blow after a defeat to PBKS. CSK need to win three out of the last four games to qualify. The team desperately need a win against PBKS as they only have one home game left but it against table toppers Rajasthan Royals. It won’t be an easy game thus CSK need to win against PBKS at all costs so that even if they lose against RR, they have a chance of qualifying.

IPL-17: PBKS vs CSK | Chennai Super Kings eye payback in second successive clash against Punjab Kings

IPL-17: PBKS vs CSK | Chennai Super Kings eye payback in second successive clash against Punjab Kings

Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will look to set their house in order and get back to winning ways when they face an upbeat yet unpredictable Punjab Kings for the second time in a row in the IPL in Dharamsala on May 5. Just three days back, PBKS outclassed CSK by seven wickets at Chepauk, considered their fortress. The two losses in the last three games at home have put Chennai in a spot. They are placed fifth on the table with 10 points and the five-time champions will hope the change of venue would bring a change in fortune as well with just four games to go to seal their place in the knockout stage. CSK’s failure to push the pace in the middle overs against the spin duo of Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar saw them post a below-par score of 162-7. Their batting has become too dependent on skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and six-hitting machine Shivam Dube and the moment one of them fails, it puts the pressure on others who have not been consistent in bailing out the team. While Gaikwad hit his fifth 50-plus score of the season to hold it together, veteran batter Ajinkya Rahane once again failed to capitalise on the starts, while Ravindra Jadeja and Sameer Rizvi struggled against spin. CSK also has been hampered by the health and fitness concerns of their pacers, including Deepak Chahar, who limped off holding his hamstring after bowling just two balls and is likely to miss the reverse clash against PBKS. The absence of their frontline bowlers, Matheesha Pathirana (niggle) and Tushar Deshpande (flu), also didn’t help matters the other day. Add to that the dew factor which took the spinners out of the equation and PBKS romped home comfortably. While Richard Gleeson made his IPL debut in the last match, CSK might bring back Mukesh Choudhary. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have seen a resurgence as they registered back-to-back wins to re-ignite their playoffs hopes. En route to their win over CSK, Punjab became the second team after Mumbai Indians to beat the defending champions five times in a row and they will fancy their chances. Punjab remains an unpredictable side as although it notched up wins over Gujarat in Ahmedabad, Chennai at Chepauk and also chased down a T20 record score against KKR, it has struggled at home against RR, SRH and Gujarat. With back-to-back wins, PBKS climbed to seventh spot with 8 points and will need to carry the momentum to salvage their slim hopes. Jonny Bairstow, who made a hundred against KKR, will be their go-to man, while Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh too have to raise their hands. PBKS’ bowling department has experienced names such as Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Sam Curran and they need to be consistent. Rabada was brilliant the other day but others have gone for runs. If PBKS has to repeat their performance against CSK then the spinners — Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar — will have to deliver once again. Interestingly, the first IPL match in Dharmasala stadium was a clash between Chennai and Punjab in 2010. The venue offers a lot of runs and dew remains a factor, making it an enticing contest. Teams Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Aravelly Avanish, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, RS Hangargekar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Nishant Sindhu, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Choudhary, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Prashant Solanki, Shardul Thakur, Maheesh Theekshana and Sameer Rizvi.
