Wins by Era
| Era | CSK Wins | PBKS Wins | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008-2010 | 6 | 1 | CSK’s most dominant period ever in this fixture |
| 2011-2014 | 2 | 6 | PBKS flip the script completely |
| 2015-2020 | 7 | 3 | CSK regain clear control |
| 2021-2025 | 2 | 7 | PBKS now on their most dominant run |
The pattern of this rivalry is unlike any other in the IPL. It does not stay balanced across individual eras, it swings dramatically in one direction for several seasons before flipping completely the other way. CSK dominated the first three seasons with 6 wins from 7 meetings. Then PBKS won 6 of 8 between 2011 and 2014. CSK came roaring back through 2015 to 2020. Now PBKS are in the middle of their strongest ever run against CSK, winning 7 of their last 9 meetings from 2021 onwards. Check the PBKS squad and fixtures for IPL 2026 to see how Punjab are building on that momentum.
The 2010 Super Over
| Match | Season | Tied Score | Super Over Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSK vs PBKS | 2010 | Both teams level | PBKS won Super Over |
The only tied match in this fixture came in 2010 when both teams could not be separated after 20 overs. PBKS won the Super Over eliminator to take one of the most dramatic results in their head-to-head history. That Super Over win remains one of only a handful of such finishes in the entire history of the IPL and it went Punjab’s way on that occasion.
Notable Moments in This Rivalry

Two seasons stand out for three-match sweeps. CSK won all three meetings in 2008 when the IPL was brand new and Punjab had not yet found their footing. PBKS did the same in 2014 when they were at their peak, reaching the IPL final that year. Those are the only two instances of a three-match sweep in this fixture’s history.

PBKS have won 7 of their last 9 meetings with CSK since 2021. That is a remarkable turnaround from a team that had only won 10 of their first 23 meetings. Punjab’s batting depth and bowling improvements in recent seasons have made them significantly harder for CSK to handle compared to their earlier encounters. The CSK bowling attack that used to strangle PBKS has faced far more resistance lately. Check the CSK squad and fixtures for IPL 2026 to see how Chennai are planning to end this run.
