IPL 2022 Chennai Super Kings Vs Kolkata Knight Riders

IPL 2022 CSK Vs KKR Live Cricket Score: Kolkata Knight Riders’ new captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bowl in the IPL opener against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday.
Ajinkya Rahane, Sam Billings and Iyer himself received their maiden KKR caps. Ravindra Jadeja is leading the CSK side for the first time after iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni relinquished the captaincy after 12 seasons at the helm of the Chennai-based side.
The 40-year-old stepping aside has also put the spotlight on Ravindra Jadeja, who will be captaining a high-profile team for the very first time.  Jadeja’s stellar form in international cricket over the last couple of years would surely give him the confidence to lead from the front and in times of crisis, he will anyway have Dhoni his side.
Having led Delhi Capitals to their first ever final, Shreyas Iyer was sidelined from captaincy following a shoulder injury. He decided to go back into the auction and KKR paid big money for his services. The stylish batter has shown rich form for India of late and he will be hoping to carry that into the IPL and inspire KKR to their third title.
