WOOOHOOO THE IPL IS BACK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND I AM MORE PUMPED UP THAN EVER! I have a feeling that this IPL is going to be a really great and memorable one. Don’t ask why because even I don’t know why I feel that way. Anyways, we have the rematch of the 2021 VIVO IPL Final which was CSK VS KKR and CSK got the upper hand and they defeated KKR and clinched their 4th IPL title. And now the Mega Auction has also happened and Oh My God CSK’s team is looking so much more different than their team from 2018-2021. So, how about we get on with the preview. Yes, I think that is a wise decision. Very wise. Ok, IDK what I am saying rn.
And I know we are all sad that Dhoni has handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja, but, guys everyone knew this would happen someday. Dhoni is also a human and he has made this decision because he has understood the fact that he can’t play forever. And I think we should all support him.
Probable 11 For Both Teams:
CSK-
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
- Devon Conway
- Robin Uthappa
- Ambati Rayudu
- Dhoni (C in my heart) WK)
- Jadeja (C)
- Shivam Dube
- DJ. Bravo
- Rajvardan Hangrekar
- Chris Jordan
- Adam Milne
OMG, it feels so weird not putting the captain sign next to Dhoni’s name.
KKR-
- Venkatesh Iyer
- Ajinkhya Rahane
- Shreyas Iyer (C)
- Sam Billings (WK)
- Nitish Rana
- Andre Russel
- Sunil Narine
- Umesh Yadav
- Tim Southee
- Shivam Mavi
- Varun Chakravarti
Rivalry To Watch Out:
Dhoni VS Narine-
As we all know Dhoni has never been comfortable with Narine. Narine has got Dhoni out about 16 times and Dhoni has barely scored 44 runs against Narine from 2011 when he first faced him to 2021. It’ll be interesting to see how the former captain of the yellow army will face Narine.
Dhoni VS Varun Chakravarthi:
Dhoni VS Chakravarti has always been a one-sided battle. Varun has gotten Dhoni out in both the matches in 2020 and 1 match in 2021. Dhoni has scored only 10 runs vs Varun in 2 years. Just like Narine, it will be interesting to see how he bats against Varun Chakravarti.
Stats:
CSK-
| Matches- | 26 |

| Tied- | 0 |
KKR-
| Matches- | 26 |

Weather Report:
According to the weather reports, there is no rain to be expected and the match should go smoothly.
Pitch Report:
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has brought many memories over the years. Whether it is India winning the 2011 CWC or CSK winning the 2018 IPL. And as we all the pitch in Wankhede is a fantastic one to bowl first. So my recommendation is that the team which wins the toss should bowl first. The average score for the team batting first is 180 so that means the team that bats first shouldn’t have any problem. But bowling first is better because the dew will come in in the later half.
Prediction:
I won’t be predicting this match because I don’t know how the teams will play. Both teams have changed a lot for example as I mentioned above CSK’s team is completely different from their team from 2018 to 2021. So that’s why I won’t be predicting this match.
If you want to see the opening match of the TATA IPL 2022 then please log into Disney+Hotstar at 7:30 and if you want to see the broadcasting also then please log into Disney+Hostar @5:30 today. Good luck to both teams.
Until Later! Bye!
Thank You!
God, it’s going to be weird seeing Jadeja at the toss.
