And we are finally underway! The Chennai Super Kings will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the very first match of the Tata IPL 2022. A repeat of the last year’s final, this game will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how both these sides play after the mega auction held this year.
This will be a beginning of the new era for CSK as MS Dhoni stepped down as captain with Ravindra Jadeja poised to take the reins forward. Meanwhile, KKR will also be under a new captain in Shreyas Iyer. With Both Andre Russell and Sunil Narine in the squad, Iyer will have an impactful middle order to back on.

A score of around 170 runs would be a fighting total at this venue. Both the captains will be looking to field first upon winning the toss. Dew is expected as the match progresses.
