After two mouth-watering clashes on super Saturday, IPL 2022 will witness yet another high voltage clash on Sunday as CSK vs PBKS will pip the defending champions up against Mayank Agarwal's young brigade.
Chennai Super Kings are winless in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 so far, losing both of their games against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Meanwhile, Punjab have also played two games, having won their opening fixture versus Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and but they went down against KKR.
