CSK won their previous encounter in Chepauk in IPL 2019.
Kings XI Punjab has never played with the same XI in two consecutive matches and though their logic was picking players according to situations, this also led to low confidence in players who didn’t know when they will be dropped for no fault of their own. This match too, given that they are playing at home, might see KXIP giving rest to some of the players who have done heavy work for them.
This means Mohammad Shami and Chris Gayle might finally get some much-needed rest, given the team is no more in the race of playoffs and Moises Henriques and Ankit Rajpoot might come into the XI.
Kings XI Punjab Predicted Playing XI:
KL Rahul, Sam Curran, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Moises Henriques, Mandeep Singh, R Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Murugan Ashwin, Andrew Tye, Ankit Rajpoot
Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (C&WK), Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar
