Competition in the Indian Premier League is such that often it is tough to separate two teams. However, there are a few exceptions, and the battle between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings is one of them. Chennai is indeed ‘Super’ between the two kings. India Cements purchased the CSK franchise in 2008 when the Indian Premier League came into existence. The ownership later shifted to Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. in 2015.
In 2010, CSK won the IPL match for the first-ever time. In these 17 years, the team brought the IPL trophy home five times in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. Their last win was in 2023 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The team will be led by Indian cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad in the IPL 2025.
Based out of Mohali, Punjab, the Punjab Kings is one of the most popular cricket teams. The team debuted in the Indian Premier League in 2008. The franchise of Punjab Kings was bought jointly by Ness Wadia (23%), Preity Zinta (23%), Mohit Burman (46%), and Karan Paul (8%). In 2014, the team reached the semi-finals of IPL for the first time and stood as runner-up after losing the match against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The high-flying Punjab Kings boast several polished national and international players in the past such as ,Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Rilee Rossow and others who excel in different areas of cricket. In the IPL 2025, the team will be led by an Indian cricket player, Shreyas Iyer, an Indian international cricketer and coached by Ricky Ponting. Here is the list of players in Punjab Kings-The Punjab Kings have a star-studded roster featuring both national and international players, including Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and more.

CSK vs PBKS in IPL 2025
The gap between the teams comes from their geographical distance and their standing in the league. Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings are two of the strongest teams that went head to head in the 2024 IPL. Both teams are stacked with international stars. Moreover, they feature the most polished cricketers and bowlers in the IPL.
When talking about Punjab kings, the team has a slightly unsatisfactory record, especially in the IPL series. Whereas Chennai Super Kings has a slight advantage over its competitors as they have won IPL five times. Over the years, both teams have evolved drastically in terms of their strategies, players, and tactics to win matches.
We have two teams. On the one hand, the mighty CSK, who have played 17 IPL seasons and have won 5 of them, qualified for the finals 10 times, and qualified for the playoffs 12 times. But, on the other hand, we have the Punjab Kings, who have also played 17 IPL seasons and never won a trophy, have qualified for the playoffs twice and made the finals just once.
Past IPL Performance of Punjab Kings VS Chennai Super Kings
Out of the 30 matches played between them so far, CSK has won 16, while Punjab has won 14. Out of the 14 wins for Punjab, 3 are from the 2014 IPL, where they qualified for the finals.
This dominance can also be seen because while Punjab Kings had 17 captains since the IPL started, CSK had 4 different captains. While Punjab will have Shreyas Iyer as their current captain in the upcoming season, CSK will still be using the services of Ruturaj Gaikwas in the IPL 2025.
