Preview : The Punjab Kings have won three games in seven games and are nesting in the disadvantaged half of the score, so they must treat all the remaining games as a win and take first place in the playoffs of eight games. Edition. The opponent Chennai Super Kings on Monday (April 25th) is almost there, and the defending champion's qualifying hopes are out of balance with only two wins from seven. In each other's dire situation, they are looking for a lifeline to highlight the sick IPL2022 campaign.
Their strong batting lineup, rumored to be the strength of the season, suffers from contradictions, with the exception of Liam Livingstone (226 runs, three and a half centuries), one of the top 15 Long hitters of the season. Has been done. As despair for Punjab points grows, Johnny Bairstow will be feeling the heat with an informed shift of Banuka Rajapaksa waiting on the bench for only 41 runs so far in four innings. Shah Rukh Khan, another expensive (re) purchaser in Punjab, has not yet fully responded to his bill as the strike rate against spins has been scrutinized. Their bowling division, advertised as the most obvious weakness of the PBKS, was led by veteran Kagiso Rabada, and despite not having enough wickets to show it, the capless Arshdeep Singh is an economical spell. Unleashed. Rahul Chahar led a relatively inexperienced spin division with 10 scalps in 7 games and was ranked 10th in the season's best core wigets.
At the CSK camp, with the exception of Shivam Duvet's consistent contribution (236 runs) and MS Dhoni's finishing skills, he rarely went home. However, bowling is beginning to find that groove, backing up the reliable Dwayne Bravo. CSK has increased its power play bowling in the last three games, admitting that it does not exceed 42 runs in one inning, and has won a total of nine wickets during that period. The immediate challenge is to keep Punjab's all-in-batting approach away. This will give you a score of 9.51 in power play. Rookie pacesetter Mukesh Choudhry was assisted despite a bad start to the season and successfully won with a new ball with MI. Mahesh Theekshana has also contributed consistently, but CSK's biggest concern remains the indifference of new captain Ravindra Jadeja, who couldn't set an example in both the racket and the ball.
