Highlights of Punjab Kings vs. Chennai Super Kings IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad saved the day for his team by winning the powerplay against Punjab Kings on Sunday, even though the team lost the traditional coin toss for the tenth time in the Indian Premier League season 2024. In match No. 53 of the IPL 2024 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, CSK was asked to bat first and lost Ajinkya Rahane for 9 off 7 balls before Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell shared a 57-run stand in 32 balls.

In the game-changing over, Chahar also gave Shivam Dube a king pair.
