Punjab Kings find themselves at a crossroads a bit in the ongoing season of the , with a stop-start schedule having, won two of their last five games and a match getting washed out after a week's break didn't help. Ahead of a three-match Dharamsala leg, the Punjab Kings will be keen to chip in and get those two points in Chennai on Wednesday and push for a spot in the playoffs while sending shivers down the Delhi Capitals' spine. It has been a good campaign for the Kings but their overseas contingent is yet to click.
Apart from Marco Jansen, none of , , or Josh Inglis has really looked the part they still have an opportunity to change the game with five matches remaining for the Punjab franchise and an opportunity to seal the top four spot, even if they win three out of their next five. On the other hand are the Chennai Super Kings, for whom, apart from maybe Noor Ahmad, nothing has gone right. The approach, the personnel, the auction and the strategies all have come under heavy scrutiny for the five-time champions, with the team not pulling its weight.
However, having been pushed to a corner with a slight mathematical chance of qualification alive, the CSK wouldn't want to go down without a fight and Punjab has been a side in the recent years to have the wood over them in their own backyard, hence they might just be gunning for revenge just a bit more.
