CSK vs PBKS Match Preview:

Chennai's batting is pretty solid. Once Ruturaj Gaikwad starts scoring, CSK are expected to score close to 200 in almost every match with that batting lineup. Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu will continue to play key roles in CSK's batting throughout the season. 

The bowling is where CSK lacks grip. The youngsters like Tushar Deshpande and Mukesh Choudhary haven't shown up. It'll be a call to take if they want to continue with the or try another upcoming talent - Rajvardhan Hangergekar. 

Punjab Kings' batting lineup is also very strong. They have some big hitters on the list and the addition of Jonny Bairstow will only make it stronger. It'll be interesting to see who he replaces - Bhanuka Rajapaksa or Liam Livingstone. 

Kagiso Rabada's addition has made PBKS' bowling strong. Rahul Chahar found grip in the last match and his four overs could turn the game around for Punjab.
