In the upcoming clash, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 53rd match of the ongoing IPL 2024 at the HPCA Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh.

CSK, currently positioned at fifth on the points table with 10 points from eleven matches, are keen to improve their standing. In their previous encounter with PBKS, they suffered a setback, losing by seven wickets. 

Despite a commendable effort from Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK fell short as PBKS, led by Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw, chased down their total of 162. As the teams gear up for this crucial rematch, strategic changes are anticipated. 

The Dharamshala pitch's characteristic bounce may favor CSK's Rachin Ravindra, known for his adeptness in handling such conditions. Ravindra could potentially replace Ajinkya Rahane, whose form has been inconsistent. 

CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad might opt for this alteration to bolster the team's batting lineup. However, CSK faces challenges with key players like Mustafizur Rahman will not be playing due to national commitments and Deepak Chahar possibly sidelined due to injury concerns. 

Despite these setbacks, the team is determined to put up a strong performance and clinch a vital victory.

CSK's Probable XI

Ajinkya Rahane, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Shardul Thakur, Matheesha Pathirana, Richard Gleeson, Mukesh Choudhary

Impact- Sameer Rizvi, Tushar Deshpande, Shaik Rasheed, Moeen Ali
