The Indian Premier League is heading into its 11th encounter of the 15th season, which will be a face-up between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. Both the teams were on the verge of defeat in their last game; Punjab was trapped in the storm of Andre Russell against KKR. At the same time, Chennai has been rocked by Lucknow Supergiants in a thriller run chase. Ravindra Jadeja’s captaincy has come into question after the two consecutive losses. The most important thing is to take over the charge of the whole team, which both the skippers haven’t done. Mayank Agrawal was so aggressive with his behavior in the field, but his captaincy didn’t reflect that thing anymore.
The venue of Brabourne stadium has a lot of delight for the spinners and the batsmen who don’t get messed up with the turn of the ball. Robin Uthappa and Shivam Dube are in golden form for Chennai Super Kings. At the same time, the whole top order of PBKS has Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shikhar Dhawan, and Mayank Agrawal is hitting the right spot on the money. Then it would be the nail-biting encounter on Sunday, so let’s make some quick predictions for this match between CSK & PBKS.
