The opening game of the IPL 2022 was played at the Wankhede Stadium this season when Chennai Super Kings were up against Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata Knight Riders won the game by 6 wickets.

Wankhede Stadium has always been a batting-friendly wicket, and the chasing teams generally get the advantage here because of the dew factor in this weather.

The red-soil service is used at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai which provides an even bounce to batters. The boundaries are also very small at this ground, which allows the batters to clear the ropes easily. The pitches have been a little bit on the drier side this time around, and the spinners have dominated in the middle-overs.

Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded the lowest total at this venue this season, where they scored 125 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The highest score at this ground this season has been made by Rajasthan Royals, where they made 222 runs against Delhi Capitals.
