IPL 2021- PBKS vs CSK : Punjab Kings look for momentum against struggling Chennai Super Kings

The MS Dhoni-led CSK put in a poor performance on the field in their first match against Delhi Capitals, dropping catches and bowling too many poor deliveries as the side lost by seven wickets.

Punjab Kings on the other hand survived a scare from Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, who hit a century, in their first match as they held on to win the game by a slender margin of four runs even after having put up 221.

Batsmen: Suresh Raina, Chris Gayle, Deepak Hooda, Mayank Agarwal, Faf du Plessis

Suresh Raina made a brilliant return to CSK colors against DC, steering the side out of trouble with a half-century in the opening game of the season. Chris Gayle, meanwhile, played a key role in improving the run-rate for PBKS against RR.  Both batsmen, who come in at number three, remain key to their respective sides putting a big score and chasing a total.

Wicketkeeper: KL Rahul

The Punjab Kings captain played his natural aggressive game in the opening game of the season against Rajasthan Royals, much to the delight of Indian fans. Rahul, who had slowed down in terms of strike rate in the previous season, slammed 91 off 50 deliveries in the game and remains an automatic choice for the Dream11 team.

All-rounder: Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja is expected to step up in his role as a finisher for Chennai Super Kings this season, and he remains equally important for the franchise in the middle overs with his bowling spells.

In addition, his athleticism on the field is bound to get you some extra points.

Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Shardul Thakur, Dwayne Bravo

Arshdeep had a brilliant game for PBKS against RR, taking three wickets for the side and playing a vital role in their four-run win. Shami, too, took a wicket with the new ball as well as in the death
