PBKS vs CSK IPL 2021 Match 8: Possible Playing 11 of Punjab Kings

PBKS Playing 11: Punjab Kings will take on MSD’s Chennai Super Kings in the 8th match of IPL 2021 here at Mumbai. After a narrow win over Rajasthan Royals in their last match, the Kings would feel confident going into this match but will be aware of a dangerous CSK side. In 23 matches played between these two sides, Chennai have come on top 14 times while Punjab have won 9 times. In the last season, Chennai defeated Punjab on both the fixtures which was also a major reason why Punjab couldn’t reach the playoffs. With some exciting players being drafted into this Punjab side for this year, expect a powerful performance from them.

For Punjab, all the players will be available for selection. On a flat Wankhede wicket, Ravi Bishnoi can be useful with his variations and he could replace Murugan Ashwin. Here is how their eleven could be shaped up for this match:

PBKS Playing 11 (likely)

KL Rahul (C) (wk)
M Agarwal
C Gayle
D Hooda
N Pooran
Shahrukh Khan
J Richardson
R Bishnoi
R Meredith
M Shami
A Singh

The top 4 is Punjab’s strength but with Hooda playing a match-winning knock in the last match, Punjab’s batting has been boosted. Their overseas fast bowlers had a tough outing the other day and they will look to be at their best this time. Arshdeep Singh’s performance at the death was also a big positive for the Kings.
