IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s PBKS vs CSK Match

MS Dhoni is just a couple of sixes away to reach 250-sixes milestone

The 53rd match of the Indian Premier League 2024 will be played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings at the HPCA Stadium in Himachal Pradesh. The match is scheduled for 5th May starting from 3:30 pm.

Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings when both teams last met at Chinnaswamy. Punjab was able to restrict the team full of batting depth CSK to a mere score of 162 and chased the score comfortably with seven wickets.

Chennai Super Kings are currently ranked 5th in the points table with 5 wins. Chennai Super Kings, which looked like a certainty for the playoffs in the early stages, have witnessed their campaign going downhill.

With their Prime Bowler Mustafizur Rahman flying back for national duties and Deepak Chahar getting injured, Ruturaj Gaikwad would have a tough time figuring out the new combinations at this stage of the tournament.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are ranked 7th in the points table and are still alive with winning each game. PBKS’ road is still not easy, but their gritty performances in each game can turn the tables.

Here are the top 3 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 at the end, and fans would love more of it. Dhoni needs two more sixes to get to 250 sixes in the IPL.

2. Dhawan to take 100 catches

PBKS former captain Shikhar Dhawan is out with injury but can return anytime soon. Shikhar is one catch away from taking 100 catches in the IPL.

3. Livingstone eyes 1000 IPL runs

Liam Livingstone made his IPL debut in 2019. Liam Livingstone needs 67 runs to reach the milestone of 1000 runs in the tournament.

Punjab Kings defeated CSK in the last game, and CSK would eye a comeback in this game. PBKS, on the other hand, would fight as every game for them is do or die.
