CSK vs PBKS Probable Playing 11: After registering a Victory against SRH, Chennai is set to host Punjab Kings on Wednesday’s clash. On the other hand, PBKS has secured a victory against Kolkata on a high-score encounter to become the team with the highest runs chase in IPL.
Ruturaj-led side is eyeing the spot in the playoffs as they secured five victories out of nine matches in the season while Punjab Kings has only three victories out of 9 matches they played in the tournament.
Coming to the upcoming match, Punjab Kings has a setback with Sikandar Raza leaving the squad to perform national duty, while the availability of Shikhar Dhawan will be revealed at the time of the toss.
“It’s a part of nature, you gear your team up for the conditions on offer. If you go too far, you run the risk of what should be maybe a penalty. But in most cases, you need to look at the traditional nature of the surface and that provides variations across the country.”
“So two things, one it provides home advantage and it also helps players develop in different conditions rather than one set condition – flat with a lot of runs. You actually have to adapt to surfaces and conditions.”
“There are two parts to the game one is the bowlers and the batsmen, who have dominated so far with small grounds and incredibly flat wickets it’s incredibly difficult for bowlers to get any sort of traction whatsoever.”
“As far as spin goes, they’ve almost been redundant. And they’ve been a big part of the tournament in the years gone by,” said Stephen Fleming.
Currently, CSK has secured fourth position while PBKS secured 8th position in the IPL 2024 points table.
