Competition in the Indian Premier League is such that often it is tough to separate two teams. However, there are a few exceptions, and the battle between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings is one of them. Chennai is indeed ‘Super’ between the two kings. India Cements purchased the CSK franchise in 2008 when the Indian Premier League came into existence. The ownership later shifted to Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. in 2015.
In 2010, CSK won the IPL match for the first-ever time. In these 16 years, the team brought the IPL trophy home five times in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. Their last win was in 2023 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Currently, the team is led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a former international cricketer who captained India.
Based out of Mohali, Punjab, the Punjab Kings is one of the most popular cricket teams. The team debuted in the Indian Premier League in 2008. The franchise of Punjab Kings was bought jointly by Ness Wadia (23%), Preity Zinta (23%), Mohit Burman (46%), and Karan Paul (8%). In 2014, the team reached the semi-finals of IPL for the first time and stood as runner-up after losing the match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The high-flying Punjab Kings boast several national and international players such as Shikhar Dhawan(Captain), Harshal Patel, Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes, Rilee Rossouw, Arshdeep Singh, and others. Trevor Bayliss coaches the team.
CSK vs PBKS in IPL 2024
The gap between the teams comes from their geographical distance and their standing in the league. Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings are two of the strongest teams going head to head in the 2022 IPL. Both teams are stacked with international stars. Moreover, they feature the most polished cricketers and bowlers in the IPL.
When talking about Punjab kings, the team has a slightly unsatisfactory record, especially in the IPL series. Whereas Chennai Super Kings has a slight advantage over its competitors as they have won IPL five times. Over the years, both teams have evolved drastically in terms of their strategies, players, and tactics to win matches.
We have two teams. On the one hand, the mighty CSK, who have played 16 IPL seasons and have won 5 of them, qualified for the finals 10 times, and qualified for the playoffs 12 times. But, on the other hand, we have the Punjab Kings, who have played 16 IPL seasons and never won a trophy, have qualified for the playoffs twice and made the finals just once.
Past IPL Performance of Punjab Kings VS Chennai Super Kings
Out of the 29 matches played between them so far, CSK has won 16, while Punjab has won 13. Out of the 13 wins for Punjab, 3 are from the 2014 IPL, where they qualified for the finals. So, if we discount the 2014 IPL season, CSK has a winning record of 60%, showing their dominance over Punjab.
This dominance can also be seen because while Punjab Kings had 15 captains since the IPL started, CSK just had 1. While Punjab will have Shikhar Dhawan as their 16th captain in the upcoming season, CSK will still be using the services of M.S. Dhoni, one of the IPL stalwarts.
