It will only be for the third time in the history of Indian Premier League that Wankhede Stadium will be hosting an IPL season opener. IPL 2021 finalists Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will be locking horns in the first match of IPL 2022 on March 26.
A 10-team affair for the first time since 2011, IPL 2022 will be played across four venues namely Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium (CCI) and DY Patil Stadium and Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. While the first three stadiums are in and around Mumbai, the MCA Stadium is situated in Pune.
Dr. Vijay Patil, the President of the Mumbai Cricket Association shares an update on the iconic Wankhede Stadium’s renovation. He also adds that providing top-class facilities to fans has always been our top priority.#MCA #Mumbai #Cricket #IndianCricket #Wankhede #BCCI #TATAIPL pic.twitter.com/mIEheN0aKK
