Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders to open IPL 2022 on March 26

MUMBAI: The forthcoming edition of the IPL will open with a match between four-time champs Chennai Super Kings and two-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium on March 26.

Mumbai will host 55 matches this season, spread across the Wankhede Stadium, the Brabourne Stadium in the Cricket Club of India and the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. 15 matches will be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association’s stadium in Pune. As TOI had reported earlier, the IPL playoffs are likely to held in Ahmedabad.

To ensure that the teams are not stuck in traffic snarls in Mumbai and reach the venues in time for their matches, the Maharashtra government has assured of a special “green channel” permission, like in the case of ambulances and VIP movement.
