Shikhar Dhawan is the new captain of the Punjab Kings, and they will be looking for better times ahead. The Punjab squad has had a dismal few seasons and has never before won an IPL championship. After making it to the finals in 2014, PBKS has never advanced to the postseason and has twice ended at the bottom of the standings.
Conversely, since the IPL’s start, the Chennai Super Kings have been playing really well. They have four titles to their name. In the 2021 season, CSK won their fourth trophy; Punjab Kings had not yet won a championship.
CSK vs. PBKS Head-to-Head
In the 28 games that both clubs have played in the IPL so far, CSK has won 16 of them, with Punjab winning the other 12. In an IPL 2014 qualifying match that attracted a lot of attention, Punjab defeated the other team to go to the finals. In the game, Suresh Raina produced a remarkable knock of 87 runs off of just 25 balls.

Chennai vs. Punjab in Previous Seasons
At the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, CSK last faced PBKS in IPL 2024’s Match No. 53. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell helped CSK get off to a respectable start on the powerplay. Regretfully, CSK lost the plot during the middle overs. After then, Ravindra Jadeja played a brilliant 43 to bring CSK back in the match, but in the last overs, CSK lost a lot of wickets once more. That made no difference as CSK, spearheaded by Jadeja’s 3-fer, shut down a very hopeless Punjab lineup to win with ease.
