IPL 2022 MATCH PREDICTION: Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders

The IPL has returned, and this time it's bigger than ever! We conducted a huge auction that reshuffled the whole player pool, and we now have two new teams in addition to the eight that were previously available. The finalist from the previous season, Chennai Super Kings, and the Kolkata Knight Riders, are the first to take the field. 

CSK won the title last year and has put its faith in its veteran players once again. KKR has also managed to retain the nucleus of the team together, although this season's outfit is much different. 

In the last match between the teams, CSK won by 27 runs in Dubai to win the 2021 IPL in October of last year. CSK will be favored to win by many because they have many of the same players in their lineup. 

For the 2022 competition, KKR have a new captain and some interesting new signings. They had a terrific finish to last season and will attempt to carry that energy into this season's opener.

Match details

Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 1st match of IPL 2022 

Date & time: 26th March, 2022, 7:30PM IST 

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai 

Pitch report 

On match day, there is no danger of rain, but there is a lot of humidity. That could indicate that there will be some dew in the second half, making chasing easier. In terms of the pitch, we anticipate an absolute batting gem to begin with. There should be plenty of sixes and fours as the ball comes on nicely to the bat. A par score should be around 180 at the very least.

This evening fixture will be played under clear skies with a temperature of no less than 29 degrees.

CSK

Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Maheesh Theekshana
