The 15th edition of the Tata IPL 2022 will be 10 teams, including two new teams from Ahmedabad and Lucknow. Heavyweights CSK and KKR will be taking on the field in the season opener this year on Saturday.
Defending champions CSK led by MS Dhoni have won their last 4 matches against KKR and thus would be confident of starting on a winning note despite a few of their players missing the opening match.
Unlike CSK, KKR will have the challenge of playing under a new skipper Shreyas Iyer and with a new team with some players retained from last season. Will be interesting to see how the two teams perform after the rebuilding process.
