New Delhi, April 8 -- On April 8, Punjab Kings will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings. The action is set to begin at 7:30 PM. Let's take a look at 5 key players in today's PBKS vs CSK match.

As Chennai Super Kings prepare to face Punjab Kings, all eyes will be on captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. With 2501 IPL runs and a strike rate of 137.64, Gaikwad's elegant strokeplay and consistent form make him CSK's backbone.

In IPL 2025, he already has 121 runs in 4 games. A key player in CSK's title journey since 2021, his 63 against Rajasthan Royals proves he's in rhythm. If CSK are to bounce back tonight, they'll need their Golden Lion to roar early and anchor the innings against a fiery Punjab bowling attack.
