Chennai Super Kings were handed yet another defeat in IPL 2024, this one coming at the hands of Punjab Kings, who came out victorious by seven wickets. It was a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium, with most fans rooting for the Chennai Super Kings, but the visitors silenced them with an emphatic display in both departments of the game and took away three important points.
