POTM Harpreet Brar said:

"It was a good wicket to bowl on, and even Rahul bowled really well. I have been playing since 6 years, so my confidence has been pretty high. Now bowling to these legends of the game feels normal, I just bowl to my strengths. To be honest, I don't think wickets, my aim is only to bowl lots of dot balls and dot balls create the wickets. When there is spin in the wicket, the bowlers confidence goes up and it is a bit helpful," Brar said.

Winning skipper Sam Curran said:

"Very happy. Everytime you come to Chennai and take two wins, always a special feeling. Same as last year, we lost a lot of our home games and won away, finding a similar pattern. We are in a position where we need to win all our games, we come up against the same opposition in a few days. I think when you come to Chennai, you now how hot it is and dew is going to settle in. Today we wanted to try something different by trying Rabada in the powerplay. We wanted to use our spinners later on, so took a punt on trying KG within the powerplay. Chahar came back and was the best bowler in the 260 game, and he's bowling with great confidence. He stepped up when I asked him to bowl against MSD in the 19th over. (On bowling Chahar in the 19th) The pace bowlers were going for a bit in the end, and I wanted to try something different. Asked Rilee what he reckoned and took that gamble with spin. In this game where everyone has been going for runs, you need to take such gambles. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. We come against the same opposition so we have one up on them. It is a new game, new conditions but this win will give us a lot of confidence. I think our bowlers were superb, the spinners and Jonny striking them well, even the way we paced that chase, it was brilliant. Need to built on that confidence," Curran said.

Losing skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad said:

"Probably 50-60 runs short, the pitch wasn't great when we batted, it got better later on. With the impact rule as well, we were well short. I've practiced the tosses (during the practice sessions), it's not going well in the match, not sure what to do. To be truthful, I'm under pressure when I go to the middle (for the toss). We were also surprised that we won by a big margin in the last match considering the conditions (win by 78 runs against SRH). I think the last two games, the conditions and pitch was better, it allowed us to fight hard and get to 200+, today, it wasn't good enough to get to even 180. It's a real problem (on the player missing due to injuries and Chahal walking away in the first over), there are phases where you want wickets, but you have only two bowlers, the dew took the spinners out of the equation. It was tough, but there're four games left and we will try and come back to winning ways," Gaikwad said.

World record chase holder Punjab Kings (PBKS) will square off against mighty Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 49 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Notably, the electrifying game will take place on Wednesday, May 1, at the renowned MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Speaking of the respective team standings in the mega cricket carnival, host Chennai are currently placed in the Third position while the visitors Punjab are reeling at the ninth spot. So far both teams have featured in nine appearances out of which CSK have won five games while PBKS have tasted victory only in three matches.

When it comes to recent outings, after a few setbacks, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side bounced back quite convincingly against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) as they trumped them by 78 runs at Chepauk. While the skipper led from the front with the bat by scoring 98 runs, all rounder Daryl Mitchell provided stability with his vital 52-run knock. Besides, the Chennai crowd will hope to see their beloved adopted son aka MS Dhoni walk into his familiar territory to provide the finishing fireworks. However, the crowd will hope to see 'Thala' come up the order and take matters into his hands en route to another blazing knock off the legend's bat.

Punjab Kings outclassed Kolkata Knight Riders with a mind-boggling world record chase of 262 runs at Eden Gardens. For batting heroics Jonny Bairstow's century (108) followed by Shashank Singh's (98) sublime batting run sealed the game for PBKS. Hence, it will be interesting to see whether after Lucknow Super Giants, will Punjab Kings be able to weave their magic and breach into Chennai's fortress in the upcoming IPL 2024 clash.
