Kings XI Punjab vs Chennai Super Kingst
Kings XI Punjab will get a home-grown chance to display their wares on Wednesday when they play host to the Chennai Super Kings(CSK) at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. Having been semi-finalists in the first season of the IPL, they have since suffered a recession that has spanned the last two editions, in both of which they have been knocked out prematurely - one such ousting coming at the hands of the Chennai Super Kings too, in 2009. After a debacle of a first match on Sunday, which they lost by 6 wickets to the new-born Pune enterprise, Adam Gilchrist's side will be looking to turn over a new leaf before nine stiches are needed. Everything Kings XI has done wrong in their opener, though, the Super Kings did right in theirs. They retained their core from their world-beating side of the first three seasons, signed new players worth their weight in canary gold, and got off on the right foot this season, recording a last-ball victory against Kolkata.
