IPL 2015: Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab - Venue, date and predicted line-ups

Dhon’s men will look to continue their good run of form

Chennai Super Kings are flying high again after getting beaten by the Rajasthan Royals a few days back. They beat RCB comprehensively at Bangalore on Wednesday and now they return to their fortress. It will be a daunting task for Kings XI Punjab to CSK at their own den, but they certainly have the ammunity. The biggest headache for them though would come in the form of team selection. If George Bailey is back, then whom will they drop? Will it Shaun Marsh who won the man of the match award in his previous game or will they drop the out of form Glenn Maxwell?

Date and time: 25 April 2015, 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST)
