Indian T20 League 2022: Chennai vs Punjab Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan April 2, 2022

After back-to-back defeats, Chennai take on Punjab hoping to register their first points in the new season. The two-time winners lost to Kolkata in the tournament opener and tasted defeat at the hands of Lucknow on Thursday. On the other hand, Punjab, who kicked off their campaign with a victory over Bangalore, suffered a crushing loss against Kolkata in their last game.

Here are some of the key First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Chennai-Punjab match. 

R Uthappa vs S Dhawan

Veteran batters Robin Uthappa and Shikhar Dhawan will battle it out in an interesting Match-Up at Brabourne Stadium. Uthappa struck a lightning half-century for Chennai against Lucknow, while Dhawan made a promising start in both matches but failed to convert it into big scores. The left-handed batter is likely to dominate an inexperienced Chennai new-ball pair. 

Did You Know? S Dhawan bagged 197 fantasy points in three matches against Chennai last season

R Jadeja vs R Chahar

Wicketless after the first two games, Ravindra Jadeja will be looking to get back to his old self and is the favorite to win the Match-Up against Rahul Chahar, who impressed for Punjab against Kolkata. Chahar grabbed 68 fantasy points on Friday but will face a tough challenge against the Chennai skipper. 

R Gaikwad vs M Agarwal

Another interesting Match-Up pits Ruturaj Gaikwad against Mayank Agarwal. Both batters managed just two runs between them in their respective last games. Ruturaj, who took time to get going last season, will be keen to rediscover his form and might pick up more fantasy points than Mayank on Sunday.

S Dube vs B Rajapaksa

An in-form Bhanuka Rajapaksa meets Chennai all-rounder Shivam Dube, who struck a 30-ball 49 in the defeat against Lucknow. The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batsman has picked up 101 fantasy points so far and is most likely to seal the Match-up against the former Bangalore and Rajasthan player. 

D Bravo vs K Rabada

T20 legend Dwayne Bravo, the leading wicket-taker in Indian T20 League, squares off against Kagiso Rabada. Though the 38-year-old has picked up four wickets in two games, he might finish behind Rabada in the fantasy points chart of match 11. The South African scored 25 runs and picked up a wicket in his first game of the 2022 campaign.
