The transition phase without MS Dhoni has also put added pressure on skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and an unsettled lineup that is still searching for rhythm. Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings enter this fixture on the back of a win over the Gujarat Titans, where they looked far more organised with both bat and ball. While the overall CSK vs PBKS H2H record remains level, recent encounters have largely gone in Punjab’s favour.
As per our CHE vs PUN IPL fantasy league tips, the skipper of Punjab, Shreyas Iyer and the opener of Chennai, Sanju Samson, emerge as the ideal captaincy choices, while Cooper Connolly can be considered for vice-captaincy.

CHE vs PUN Match Prediction
The match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings at Chepauk looks like a close contest, but PBKS seem to have a slight advantage going in. CSK struggled in their first game, and their batting didn’t look very strong, while PBKS came in with better form.
The pitch at MA Chidambaram usually helps spinners and teams batting first, so CSK could still be dangerous at home if their bowlers perform well. However, PBKS look more balanced right now, which gives them a small edge in this game.
