IPL 2022, CSK vs PBKS: Massive Boost for Punjab Kings as THIS Star Player Returns to PBKS Playing 11

CSK vs PBKS: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) have witnessed quite mixed fortunes in the ongoing 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) so far. Things kickstarted in a brilliant fashion for the Punjab Kings as they went on to register a smashing 5-wicket victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore but then they conceded a disappointing 6-wicket loss against Kolkata Knight Riders in their second match of this IPL 2022 season. The Punjab Kings will take on the Chennai Super Kings at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on 3 April.

The good news for the Punjab Kings is that their premier wicket-keeper batsman Jonny Bairstow has already completed his mandatory isolation period and will be available to play against Chennai Super Kings in the Sunday blockbuster encounter. Even after two fine performances so far in the ongoing IPL 2022 season, Bhanuka Rajapaksa is expected to make way for Jonny Bairstow in the PBKS playing 11. However, Nathan Ellis is still not available for the Punjab Kings due to his participation in the limited-overs series against Pakistan.
