MS Dhoni is just 3-sixes away to reach 250-sixes milestone in IPL
The 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match is scheduled on 1st May starting from 7:30 pm.
Chennai Super Kings, in their last game, came back to winning ways by defeating the mighty Sunrisers Hyderabad. CSK bowlers outperformed SRH’s strong batting order by restricting them to a low total of 134, winning the game by 78 runs.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in their last game by chasing a record total of 262 with 10 balls to spare. Punjab Kings’ superstars finally announced themselves in the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings are currently ranked 3rd with 5 wins and would be looking to solidify their position, while Punjab Kings are ranked 8th with 3 wins to their name.
Punjab Kings will be led by former CSK player Sam Curran, who is yet to show his best in the ongoing tournament, while Chennai Super Kings will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is currently going through a golden patch with 447 runs.
Here are some records that could be broken in the match:
1. Dhoni is all set to hit 250 IPL Sixes
MS Dhoni has been taking the tournament by storm with his short cameos in the end, and fans would love more of it. Dhoni needs three more sixes to reach 250 sixes in the IPL.
2. Livingstone Eyes 1000 IPL Runs
PBKS would want their foreign superstar Liam Livingstone back in form too after Bairstow has finally fired. Liam Livingstone needs 67 runs to reach the milestone of 1000 runs in the tournament.
3. Dhawan to Take 100 Catches
According to the reports, Dhawan is expected to return. Shikhar Dhawan needs to take just one more catch to have a total of 100 catches in the league.
Punjab Kings had a near-perfect game as a batting unit in the last game, but with few matches left, Punjab has to win each game while CSK would eye to solidify its position in the table. PBKS is still fighting to survive.
