PBKS Won The Toss, Opted To Bat News24 –

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) occupy the top spot in IPL title wins alongside their competitors while being the undisputed champion because they reached every group stage apart from four times. Punjab Kings (PBKS) consistently take the position of weakest performers and become the regular subject of playful criticism. During this season CSK and PBKS appear to have reversed their typical positions as one of the most successful teams.

PBKS maintained fourth place after three league matches by losing their first encounter closely followed by two consecutive victories. CSK currently occupies second to the bottom slot after a losing three and winning single match from their four games. PBKS has discovered a perfect batting approach while CSK suffers from a serious lapse in offense after losing their leading-order batters. Though Punjab cricketers want to recover from their 100-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals during the home part of their schedule.

The assistant bowling coach Sridharan Sriram of CSK used his defense statement to explain that such poor team performance occurs at the beginning of each season as specific teams need time to establish their formations and individual roles. Sridharan Sriram mentioned that batsmen play based on the conditions without predetermined batting sequences. The decision-making process between coaches and captains depends on what serves both their team and opposition and current playing condition best according to him as noted in the CSK website.
