• IPL 2018’s final group game is between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings in Pune.
  
• Punjab need to beat CSK by at least 53 runs to reach the play-offs.
• Punjab had started the season with a string of wins before going off the boil. They are currently placed at the seventh position with 12 points.
• Chennai have already qualified for the play-offs.
• It has been a story of individual brilliance for Punjab who have failed to click as a team. Only KL Rahul (652 runs) has been scoring runs in a heap but none of the other batsmen have played to their potential on a consistent basis.
