csk-ipl2021
CSK won its 1 match in IPL 2021 after registering a comfortable victory against PBKS. Shahrukh Khan’s fighting knock of 47 off 36 balls helped Punjab post a dismal total of 106 in 20 overs. In reply, CSK chased the total with 26 balls to spare and 6 wickets in hand.
That said, here are 5 interesting stats of the match between CSK and PBKS in IPL 2021:
5. Deepak Chahar bags his best bowling figures in the IPL
Deepak Chahar was wonderful with the ball against PBKS in IPL 2021. With staggering figures of 4/14 in just 4 overs, Chahar derailed the Punjab batting lineup. Chahar’s 4/13 against PBKS are his best bowling figures in the IPL. Owing to his superb bowling, Chahar was awarded the Man of the Match award.
4. MS Dhoni marks a record 200th appearance for CSK
While it was Dhoni’s 206th appearance in the IPL, he has made 176 appearances for CSK in IPL. In the Champions League T20 tournament, Dhoni made a total of 24 appearances for CSK. Hence, in total, Dhoni marked his 200th appearance for the Chennai franchise in T20 cricket.
3. PBKS became the 3rd IPL team to lose 15 times against CSK in the IPL
3-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are arguably one of the most successful IPL teams. In 12 out of 13 editions of the IPL, CSK managed to qualify for the IPL playoffs. The Chennai franchise boasts an incredible win record against several IPL teams. One of them is Punjab. This was Chennai’s 15th win against Punjab in IPL history. Punjab is now the 3rd IPL franchise besides KKR and RCB to lose at least 15 or more times against CSK in IPL history.
2. Ambati Rayudu registers his 13th duck in the IPL
Ambati Rayudu became the 5th batsmen in IPL to register 13 ducks. He has joined the likes of Rohit Sharma, Parthiv Patel, Harbhajan Singh, and Ajinkya Rahane. No cricketer has ever registered 14 ducks in IPL history. If any of these batsmen are dismissed for a duck, he will be the first to do so.
1. Nicholas Pooran registers a questionable feat in IPL 2021
In IPL history, no player has registered a 1st ball duck in his 1st match and a 2nd ball duck in the 2nd match. However, Nicholas Pooran achieved this feat in IPL 2021. The West Indian has failed to register a single run in the season so far. Pooran will have to deliver soon if he wants to retain his place in the starting XI for PBKS.
