CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
Ben Stokes remains on the sidelines with injury but Chennai Super Kings have been performing very well with the bat across the entire campaign. MS Dhoni has kept faith with much of the same team in the tournament and we expect the same side for this match.
CSK Key Players
- Devon Conway- the New Zealand opener ended a run of four successive half-centuries with a single figure score against Rajasthan Royals but he has been in fine form this season.
- Ajinkya Rahane- the experienced right-handed Indian batter has been in brilliant form across the IPL 2023. He is approaching 6000 T20 runs.
- Tushar Deshpande- the 27 year old right arm fast medium bowler dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson, two of Rajasthan Royals’ top three in the last game.
CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Ambati Rayudu, Dwaine Pretorius, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Rajvardhan Hangargekar
Ambati Rayudu has come in as an impact substitute in recent games and is a strong attacking batter. Rajvardhan Hangargekar is a tall pace bowler and is very useful if the conditions are suitable.
CSK Team Form
Chennai Super Kings had won three games in a row before they were beaten by Rajasthan Royals by 32 runs on Thursday evening.

PBKS Key Players

- Kagiso Rabada- the right-arm quick bowler has an incredible strike-rate of 14.42 across his IPL career and dismissed both openers in Friday’s match.

PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Gurnoor Brar, Mohit Rathee, Matt Short, Rishi Dhawan, Harpreet Brar
Gurnoor Brar was substituted out during Friday’s game but showed good pace and could be a strong impact player in this game. Rishi Dhawan is a strong all-rounder who could be used as an impact player in either innings.
PBKS Team Form
The heavy defeat for Punjab Kings on Friday means they have now lost three of their last five games in the 2023 IPL.
