The clash between the two teams will be a repeat of the IPL 2021 Final where CSK, under the leadership of former CSK captain MS Dhoni, defeated Eoin Morgan’s KKR by 27 runs to lift their fourth trophy. IPL. The opening match of the tournament will be held at the Mumbai Stadium at Wankhede Stadium and a 25 percent crowd is allowed in the area. The Super Kings did not retain their strength by retaining and buying most of the players during the IPL 2022 auction last month. The team will be looking to start where they left off in the UAE.
