IPL 2024: In this battle of kings, the Super Kings will be eyeing that qualification spot, while for Kings Of Punjab, it is a battle of survival. But no matter what, we will be sat in for a brilliant encounter between two amazing teams.
CSK got back to winning ways after annihilating Hyderabad. Punjab also roared back to form after completing a record run chase against KKR on their ground. Both teams would like to continue the winning ways.
Captain Rutu
The best news for CSK is that their captain Ruturaj has roared back to form in style. A century followed by a brilliant 98-run knock has put him as a strong contender for that Orange Cap. Combined with back-in-form Daryl Mitchell, this batting lineup is getting back in order.
The Pathirana Effect
Punjab has to tackle the mighty Mateesha Pathirana if they want to win against CSK. The hold that Pathirana has in the middle and death overs is something no other bowler possesses. It will be a huge pressure on Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma to tackle that threat.
