PBKS vs CSK Live Score: Here’s what Ruturaj Gaikwad said at the toss

“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.”

“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.”

PBKS vs CSK Live Score: Pitch report

“64m and 62m boundaries. The air is thin here. It’s got a layer of grass. Pretty even but it’s dry grass. The fast bowlers can get some help with the new ball. Spinners are going to struggle here, ball won’t turn much. Wonderful ground for the batters, expect a lot of runs” say Graeme Swann and Brian Lara.

PBKS vs CSK Live Score: Crucial clash for CSK

The two losses in the last three games at home have put Chennai in a spot. They are placed fifth on the table with 10 points and the five-time champions will hope the change of venue would bring a change in fortune as well with just four games to go to seal their place in the knockout stage.
