Subhabrata Mukherjee : Today that means on Friday evening in the ongoing Indian Premier League ( IPL 2021) Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on K L Rahul’s men from Punjab kings(PBKS) in Wankhede . For both the teams this is a very important match to win. Chennai having lost their first match would live to open their account today. Whereas Punjab wpuld be looking to consolidate on the win that they had against Rajasthan.

Rahul’s men scrapped through to a 4 run win over Rajasthan when Sanju Samson failed to hit the last ball for six. In that match Rahul,Gayle and hooda peeformed for Punjab with bat while Arshdeep shone with the ball in hand.

On the other hand Chennai batted well in their match but their bowlers struggled against Delhi batsmen. Chennai bowlers failed to find good line and length. Dhoni himself had a bad game with the bat in hand as he scored a duck. Boys from Chennai would love to win today that is for sure. Now lets take a look a what we think is the probable first XI for both the teams.
