PBKS Playing 11 for CSK vs PBKS, Match 11 of IPL 2022: Player Availability & Team News

PBKS Playing 11: Things have started off in a mixed manner for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in this 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After a fabulous 5-wicket victory in their opening match of the IPL 2022 season against Bangalore, Punjab Kings ended up suffering a poor 6-wicket defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders in their most recent game. The Mayank Agarwal-led team will now be locking horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on 3 April (Sunday) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

CSK vs PBKS, Match 11 of IPL 2022: Punjab Kings Player Availability

In a massive boost for the Punjab Kings side, explosive wicket-keeper batsman Jonny Bairstow has completed his mandatory quarantine period and will be available for this game against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. Bairstow is very much likely to replace Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the Punjab Kings playing 11 as the wicket-keeper batsman. It is quite unfortunate for Rajapaksa who has looked in a fine form during the previous two matches.
