Sixteen wins each: the CSK vs PBKS head to head is dead level after 33 IPL games since the first on 19 Apr 2008. The one other match, in 2010, was a tie. The balance hides two very different halves, though.
Chennai Super Kings dominated the early years, while Punjab Kings have won seven of the eight meetings since 2022, including the last three. The latest was a 5-wicket PBKS win at Chennai on 3 Apr 2026. These Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings stats include the Kings XI Punjab years.
How the CSK vs PBKS record swung both ways
CSK won all three games in 2008 and both in 2009, so they were 5-0 up before Punjab got going. Chennai also swept 2013, 2015 and 2020.
Punjab’s best years came in streaks. They won all three meetings in 2014, both in 2012, and then took control from 2022. Since then CSK’s only win came at Dharamsala on 5 May 2024, by 28 runs.
Chasers hold a slight edge, winning 17 to the defenders’ 15, and teams batting first average 174. Home ground has given Chennai little help. Of the 10 meetings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Punjab have taken 5 and Chennai 4, and PBKS have won there in each of 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
