Chennai Super Kings (CSK) went down to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seven wickets in match number 49 of IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, May 1.
Sent into bat by PBKS, CSK came up with a disappointing effort to post 162-7. In-form skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad top-scored with 62 off 48, hitting five fours and two sixes. However, none of the other batters touched the 30-run mark.
Richard Gleeson dismissed Prabhsimran Singh for 13. However, Jonny Bairstow (46) and Rilee Rossouw (43) kept Chennai Super Kings bowlers at bay as KKR got over the line in 17.5 overs.

Punjab Kings are in seventh position in the IPL 2024 points table. They have played 10 matches, winning four and lost six. PBKS began their IPL 2024 campaign with a close four-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in Mullanpur. However, since then, it has been a topsy-turvy ride for the franchise.
