The countdown for the Indian Premier League has already begun. The highly-anticipated tournament is just less than five days away from getting underway.
The cash-rich IPL 2022 will go all guns blazing from March 26 onwards with Chennai Super Kings taking on Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2022 opener at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The tournament comes to a close on May 29. Chennai Super Kings were the champions of the past edition of the IPL. They got the way better of Kolkata Knight Riders in the final.
CSK were managed with a huge blow ahead of the new season as Deepak Chahar is anticipated to miss most part of the season due to an injury. The seamer supported the injury amid the T20I series against West Indies.
