Punjab Kings will seek to return to winning form on Tuesday, as will Chennai Super Kings, in their IPL 2025 match in Mullanpur. PBKS, who started the season unbeaten, suffered a defeat in their third match. In contrast, CSK is facing a more challenging situation, currently on a three-match losing streak after winning only their opening game.

For Punjab, home games have proven difficult, as they recently experienced their fifth consecutive loss at the Mullanpur Stadium, a trend that dates back to last season. In this campaign, they will face CSK in their second home match, hoping to establish a winning streak at this venue.

CSK has struggled with their bowling, conceding over 180 runs in three matches while bowling first on slow pitches and faltering in their run chases. Their performance has been lacking in bowling, batting, and fielding.

However, in terms of head-to-head matchups, CSK can draw confidence from their 16-14 advantage over PBKS.

PBKS currently has no injury concerns and is likely to introduce an additional spinner into the playing XI, potentially bringing in Harpreet Brar to replace Suryansh Shedge. Captain Shreyas Iyer and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell are expected to be pivotal in their batting lineup, alongside Nehal Wadhera.

On the other hand, CSK's Ruturaj Gaikwad experienced an injury scare in their last match but is anticipated to play, having participated in net sessions leading up to the game. CSK may consider dropping Mukesh Choudhary, who has been underperforming, in favor of Anshil Kamboj in the playing XI.

CSK has struggled with their batting starts this season, with Gaikwad and the rest of the lineup not performing well. Against PBKS spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, they might opt to include Shivam Dube, as Chahal has had difficulties against left-handed batsmen, having conceded 303 runs at an economy rate of 10.95 in the IPL since 2024.
