Chennai Super Kings Vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Cricket ScoreIPL 2022 CSK Vs KKR Live Cricket Score: Indian cricket’s crown jewel, the IPL, is back home: bigger, better and longer. MS Dhoni gave up CSK captaincy three days before their opening game. While his decision did not come as a shock, it has fuelled speculation whether he would feature in all the games.
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 by 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.
