Kings XI Punjab are the second last spot in the league table and will be looking to end their season with a win. The team has been a shadow of its former self as they were dominating the opposition at the start of the campaign. They have two of the best batsman in KL Rahul and Chris Gayle in the lineup, but it has been the bowling department which has been a letdown. The management will be looking to make some changes in that department before the start of the new season.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings are the defending champions and once again have proven their superiority over the others. They are the leaders of the league as well, and even though they are looking really strong, there are still some questions over their relative age in terms of physical ability. This could easily be the best season MS Dhoni has had as the man has been incredible, and he will be looking to emulate a similar level of passion from this point forth and even carry it in the ICC World Cup 2019
