Even though RR lost the game, Jaiswal, who received the Player of the Match award, spoke out in favour of maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the presentation ceremony.

“When I completed my century, I didn’t know whether the ball went to the boundary. So I thanked God for everything. That was the highlight. Days like this definitely can happen. I want to focus on the process and work hard, and have the belief. I have been positive and am maintaining a good, fit lifestyle which is helping,” Jaiswal said.

The left-handed batter, who is now the season’s highest run-scorer with 428 runs at an average of 47.56 and a strike rate of 159.70, including a century and three half-centuries so far, may soon be seen playing for India. Furthermore, Jaiswal could establish a sort of record for an uncapped batter with at least five games left to play.

The Chennai Super Kings had a great start to the IPL season 16 as they won five games and have 10 points. CSK is performing well in all aspects of the game, including batting, bowling, and fielding, and has been outstanding overall. In terms of batting, the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Shivam Dube are in sublime form. Meanwhile, the SriLankan duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana have been shouldering the burden of bowling for the team.

On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have accumulated 8 points from 4 wins halfway through the season. While their batting and fielding have been good, they are struggling in their bowling unit. Currently, PBKS lacks a reliable death-over bowler, although Arshdeep Singh has been exceptional. No other bowler has performed well for them. Another major setback for Punjab is the absence of their regular captain, Shikhar Dhawan, who has missed the last few games due to an injury. It is still uncertain whether he will be available for the next match.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

The Chennai Super Kings have called the MA Chidambaram Stadium, also known as Chepauk Stadium, their home ground for many years. To date, this venue has hosted 124 Indian Premier League matches.

Historically, the pitch at Chepauk has favored batters, with its hard and dry surface tending to deteriorate as the game progresses. This offers considerable assistance to spinners, resulting in spin-dominated contests. Moreover, the pitch has minimal grass covering, further favoring spinners.

During the IPL 2023, the weather in Chennai is expected to be hot and humid, with temperatures around 33°C during the afternoon and gradually cooling as evening approaches. The city’s proximity to the sea will create sticky and humid conditions.

Out of 124 IPL matches played at Chepauk Stadium, the team batting first won 66 matches. The chasing team won 56 times, and two matches ended as no result.

The average first-inning score at this venue is 158 runs. The highest total ever scored at this ground is 246 runs, by the Chennai Super Kings against the Rajasthan Royals in 2010. Conversely, the lowest total ever recorded here is 70 runs, scored by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019.

If either team wins the toss at Chepauk, they are likely to choose to bat first. Considering the strong bowling and batting line-ups of both teams, the match is expected to be an exciting one.

There were hints about Faf du Plessis returning to lead the side in full capacity in the previous game. The Proteas veteran has been taking part in RCB’s game as an impact sub. Du Plessis suffered an abdomen injury and thus for the past 3 games he only took an active part in the batting and opted to stay on the bench when RCB were bowling. In his absence, stand in skipper Virat Kohli has been leading the side.

“It was unexpected but nothing I’m not used to (stand-in captaincy). It’s been fun so far because of the way the team has been playing. Faf will be playing the impact role again. Hopefully he’ll be back leading from the next game,” said Virat Kohli during the toss against Kolkata Knight Riders.

But with Faf almost fit from his injuries, he is expected to lead the side from the front again. Josh Hazlewood who had an Achilles injury in Australia way back in January is fit and keen on getting his start in this edition of the IPL. But with the addition of these two players, Shahbaz Ahmed and David Willey will make for the new additions.

The Batting lineup for RCB is set. Virat Kohli has been in tremendous form. Though Faf has misfired in the last couple of games, the skipper is just a knock away from blowing off his steam at the opposition. Glenn Maxwell too continues his fine form. The middle order and the finishers have been a trouble for RCB.

Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik and Suyash Prabhudessai will have to fire. Hazlewood if fit will spearhead the pace attack with Mohammed Siraj the purple cap leader and Harshal Patel. Wanindu Hasaranga will continue to weave his magic at the opposition.

1. Virat Kohli
