Tata IPL 2022: CSK vs KKR head-to-head record, Chennai Super Kings head-to-head record against Kolkata Knight Riders

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will lock horns for the first time in this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, on 26 March at 7:30 pm.

All eyes would be on CSK and their new skipper Ravindra Jadeja as he takes over from MS Dhoni this season.

Dhoni had led Chennai Super Kings since the team was formed in 2008. Under the leadership of Thala, as Dhoni was fondly called, the team had lifted the IPL trophy four times — 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021.
