Maxwell, who was purchased for a heavy RS 4.2 Crore, had a disappointing season with the bat and made only 48 runs in seven games with an average of 8.00.
While it manages to buy four small doors, its overall performance has fallen very little from expectations, and its absence now leaves an important hole in the PBKS mid -order.
PBKS will still support themselves to take the stage at Chepauk, enter the match with five wins from nine games and sit on the fifth place on the table.
While the playoffs appear, they will try to strengthen their positions with a win against a fighting CSK.
For Chennai, this is a structure or scale conflict. Super Kings, which stands under the table with only two wins in nine games, desperate to revive its campaigns.
Although Ms. Dhoni returned as a captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury, CSK could not reverse. The weak form of senior players such as Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra and Matheesha Pathirana damaged their chances.
However, CSK found hope in Young Ayush Mhatre, affected by the first output and will be the key again in the power game against Arshdeep Singh against the strong Bowling attack of the PBKs.
The duel between Shivam in the middle sea and the duel between Yuzvendra Chahal can also be decisive.
Both teams have everything to play, fans can expect a high -bet reckoning in Chennai tonight.
