Surprisingly, Chennai Super Kings for the first time in their journey so far have the first two matches in a season in the Indian Premier League. The new team under the leadership of Ravindra Jadeja is yet to open the account. Punjab Kings on the other hand have lost one and won one. Chennai Super Kings on both occasions have batted first and failed to defend the total. So, it is evident that if CSK wins the toss they will choose to field first.
Adam Milne is likely to return to CSK XI. Punjab Kings’ batting unit will be bolstered by the inclusion of Jonny Bairstow. The pitch seems to be a batting belter.
Here’s the probable playing XI
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne, Tushar Deshpande
Punjab Kings: Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Jonny Bairstow, Shahrukh Khan, Raj Bawa, Harpreet Brar, Odean Smith, Rahul Chahar, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh
