Chennai Super Kings in their final game of the season will be bowling first against Kings XI Punjab. or the first time in the IPL history, they will finish the tournament at the bottom of the points table. While CSK play for pride, it’s a must-win situation for Rahul’s Kings XI. A 7-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals has already made their way to playoffs tougher. 

Even if they win this game, their chances will be hanging by a thread until the other match results go in their favour. Kings XI Punjab have to beat party-poopers Chennai Super Kings to have any chance. Then they have to keep an eye on their net run rate and all the other teams who finish on 14 points. As of now, they are better placed than Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in that regard. In terms of changes Glenn Maxwell has been dropped and Mayank Agarwal returns for the Lions. 

Chennai Super Kings: Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(w/c), N Jagadeesan, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Imran Tahir
