With the 15th season of the IPL in full swing, CSK and the Punjab Kings will clash in today’s match.
The CSK team lost the first two matches they played. So CSK are on the verge of their first win of the season, with one win in the first two matches and one defeat to the Punjab Kings.
CSK captain Ravindra Jadeja, who won the toss, opted for fielding at the Mumbai Brabourne Ground. With IPL matches being played in Mumbai and Pune, it will be very difficult for the bowlers to bowl in the 2nd innings as the impact of the snow will be heavy in the 2nd innings. So it is in favor of the batsmen. For this reason only the teams batting second and chasing the target win. If you win the toss, you can win the match. Thus, CSK captain Jadeja, who lost the toss in the first 2 matches, happily opted for fielding after winning the toss in this match.
A change has been made to the CSK team. CSK have added all-rounder Chris Jordan to their squad for the 4th World Cup, having played only 3 foreign players in the last match. So Tushar Deshpande has been removed.
CSK Team:
Rudraj Kejriwal, Robin Uthappa, Moin Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (captain), Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Shivam Dubey, Twain Bravo, Chris Jordan, Twain Pretorius, Mukesh Chaudhary.
There have been 2 changes in the Punjab Kings squad. Spin all-rounder Harpreet Bro has been replaced by bowler Vaibhav Arora, who can swing both sides, and Jitesh Sharma for Raj Bawa.
Punjab Kings Team:
Mayank Agarwal (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Panuka Rajapaksa (wicket-keeper), Liam Livingstone, Shah Rukh Khan, Jitesh Sharma, Odin Smith, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Sahar, Vaibhav Arora.
