Another first-ever scenario will be in the form of the whole of IPL 2022 league stage being conducted across four venues in two cities of an Indian state. Set to last for more than two months, IPL 2022 will keep the audiences engaged for a considerable part of this Indian summer.

Who will play 1st match of IPL 2022?

It is worth mentioning that the 1st match of IPL 2022 will be played as part of a well-set custom where the finalists of the previous season take part in the subsequent season opener.

Hence, defending champions Chennai Super Kings and runners-up Kolkata Knight Riders will face each other at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Four-time IPL champions Super Kings will continue to play under former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Knight Riders, on the other hand, will take the field under their sixth captain in India batter Shreyas Iyer.

One of the best IPL teams, a Chennai vs Kolkata clash to commence an IPL season should be able to allure people into following the match in record numbers.
