Pitch Report:

It's red soil pitches here usually in this part of the country and there is so much grass here, expect some seam movement. Last match saw more than 200 being chased due to the dew and hence both teams will prefer to chase.

Here are some of the important stats and numbers ahead of Match 11:

18 – Runs needed by Dwayne Bravo to reach 1000 runs for CSK in IPL. He will become the second player to score 1000+ runs and take 100+ wickets for a single franchise, after Ravindra Jadeja, who also did it for CSK.

9 – Sixes needed by MS Dhoni to reach 200 sixes for CSK in IPL. He will become the fifth player to hit at least 200 sixes for a team after Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli for RCB and Kieron Pollard for MI.

50 – The current skipper of Punjab Kings, Mayank Agarwal will be playing his 50th IPL match for Punjab Kings.
