IPL 2022: Opening match CSK Vs KKR tonight

Must read

The two finalists from the previous season, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, will face off in the first match of the Tata IPL. This season, the Chennai Super Kings will defend their title. MS Dhoni passed on the CSK captaincy baton to Ravindra Jadeja just two days before the start of IPL 2022, which was huge news. Both teams have added several new players to their rosters as a result of the big auctions. Shreyas Iyer, a young Indian cricketer, has been appointed as Kolkata’s new captain for the IPL 2022 season. Ruturaj Gaikwad, the leading run-scorer in the previous edition, will open for the CSK again this season. His previous opening partner will be captaining a different franchise this season, so he’ll have to find a new one.

This season, Kolkata is set to start with youthful sensation Venkatesh Iyer and newly recruited Ajinkya Rahane. Kolkata Knight Riders’ Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch will miss the opening week of the IPL, while Moeen Ali will miss at least the first game owing to visa concerns. MS Dhoni stepped down as CSK captain on Thursday (two days before the start of the IPL 2022), handing over the reins to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. So far in the IPL, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have met 26 times, including the finals in 2012 and 2021. The Chennai Super Kings have won 17 games, while the Kolkata Knight Riders have won 8 games. These two teams met three times last season, with CSK winning all three games.
