We at Insidesport will take you through the probable playing XI of Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings in the 53rd match of IPL 2021.
Openers – KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have scored over 30 per cent of the runs for PBKS. Both the openers are the backbone of their batting order. In the game against RCB, the duo gave a solid start to their side. KL’s strike rate has been a big concern for PBKS in the past few seasons, however, in this season, he became more aggressive when it was needed.
