PBKS vs CSK IPL 2024 Match Live Score: Batting first after losing the toss, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has lost his entire top order against Punjab Kings in match 53 of Tata IPL 2024, which is being played at Dharamshala. At the time of the toss, Punjab Kings’ stand-in skipper Sam Curran had said that he would want to bowl first as it’s a day game and batting conditions would get better in the evening. Punjab spinners have not disappointed their captain. Losing the first wicket in Ajinkya Rahane in the second over, Chennai didn’t have a flying start. But that’s not a matter of concern for the defending champs as they are slow starters. In this season of IPL, CSK has got a better run rate in the middle overs. Then came the brilliant over of Rahul Chahar. The spinner first claimed the wicket of Gaikwad and then sent back Shivam Dube on the second ball of the over. Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali managed to drag CSK well into triple digits but they didn’t stay in the middle for very long.
Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings: Golden duck for Dhoni
Mitchell Santner (11 off 11) and Shardul Thakur (17 off 11) couldn’t do much in the face of superb bowling attack. Even MS Dhoni got out for golden duck at Dharamshala courtesy brilliant slow yorker by Harshal Patel. Ravindra Jadeja (43 off 26) made the most runs among the entire lineup today. He held the fort and kept up the tempo before Arshdeep Singh cut short his innings. Punjab Kings were able to restrict Chennai Super Kings at 167/9.
Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings – The collapse of Sam Curran & co
They were all smiles and rightly so when Punjab Kings restricted Chennai Super Kings for a sub-par total of 167/9. It was a total that the chase masters could have easily achieved. After all, this is the side that chases a monstrous target of 262 at Eden Gardens. But today was not the day for Punjab batters. Exacting revenge, Chennai Super Kings bowlers struck inside the powerplay and never let Punjab to breath and stabilise their run chase. At one point Punjab Kings were 69/2. Then they crumbled to 80 for 7. Prabhsimran Singh (30 off 23) and Shashank Singh (27 off 20) were the only batters that gave some fightback. But it wasn’t enough. Ravindra Jadeja, who was the top scorer in the 1st innings, destroyed Punjab’s chase as he picked up 3 wickets. Simarjeet Singh got 2 wickets. However, it was Tushar Deshpande’s double wicket over inside the powerplay that rattled Punjab from the word go.
Gaikwad sent Thakur to bowl the last over. Punjab needed 36 off 6 balls. Mathematically, it was very much possible. But alas, cricket-wise, after a stunning display of bowling, Punjab failed when it came to batting. Rabada and Brar couldn’t pull off a last-over miracle and Punjab lost the match by 28 runs. With this win, CSK are back in the top 4 of the IPL points table with solid chances to the playoffs.

After losing the toss and opting to bat first, Ruturaj Gaikwad, the captain of Chennai Super Kings, saw his entire top order collapse against Punjab Kings in match 53 of Tata IPL 2024, held at Dharamshala. Sam Curran, leading Punjab Kings in the absence of their regular skipper, had expressed his desire to bowl first, anticipating favorable batting conditions later in the day. Punjab's spinners lived up to their captain's expectations, making early breakthroughs. The dismissal of Ajinkya Rahane in the second over meant Chennai didn't start with a flourish, but this isn't unusual for the defending champions, known for their slow starts. Despite the shaky beginning, Chennai has typically performed well in the middle overs this IPL season. However, Rahul Chahar's exceptional over turned the tide further in Punjab's favor. The spinner not only removed Gaikwad but also dismissed Shivam Dube on the second delivery of his over. Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali tried to stabilize Chennai's innings, taking them past the triple-digit mark, but their stays at the crease were brief. The focus now shifts to Jadeja and, of course, Dhoni, who are expected to unleash some fireworks in the death overs.
CSK are 117/5 in 15 overs

“We've just stuck to our process and doing little things right. We don't look at the track record of the opposition, we focus on ourselves and see what we can do right. This season there have been a lot of injuries, flus and forced changes so we've had to tinker with our team. I'd say losing 10 tosses but winning 5 games is a positive. Santner comes in place of Fizz.”
PBKS won the toss and chose to bowl first.
“We're going to bowl. Day game, try and see how it plays and chase it down. We've got the same team. We've had two really good wins with the same team. Conditions should be fairly even throughout, it's about batting, bowling and fielding well.” Sam Curan said at toss
According to Graeme Swann and Brian Lara, the boundaries at 64m and 62m indicate a compact playing field. The thin air and dry grass suggest favorable conditions for fast bowlers, especially with the new ball. However, spinners might find it challenging as the ball won't generate much turn. The ground is deemed excellent for batsmen, and spectators can anticipate a high-scoring match.
