PBKS Playing XI vs CSK: Punjab Kings to field Unchanged team
After beating Chennai in a close encounter, Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings’ playing 11 looks all set. We may see minor to no changes in the team’s starting 11 in the upcoming matches. Speaking about the opening pair of Dhawan and Prabhsimran, both look in fine form and will not be changed. At no 3, Atharva Taide has cemented his place.
With Liam Livingstone and Sikandar Raza back in form, the middle order is now fixed. The lower order will comprise power hitters like Jitesh Sharma, Sam Curran, and Shahrukh Khan.
The bowling unit will mostly rely on Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, and Harpreet Brar. The only change we may see in upcoming matches is Rishi Dhawan replacing Harpreet Brar.
