MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the IPL 2022 on March 26 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
CSK IPL 2022 Schedule: The Chennai Super Kings is a franchise owned by Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited company with Chennai-based India Cements being the major stakeholder in the company. The franchise was sold to India Cements back in 2007 for $91 million – making it the 4th most expensive IPL team behind Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad in the inaugural edition.
The franchise won their 4th Indian Premier League (IPL) title last year with MS Dhoni-led side defeating Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2021 final in Dubai. Apart from 2021, CSK have won the IPL crown in 2010, 2011, and 2018.
CSK have seen their share of controversies as well as they were banned for a period of 2 years by the RM Lodha Committee along with Rajasthan Royals in 2015 after being found guilty of spot-fixing in the league.

While the social media was abuzz about Suresh Raina being ignored and it probably meant an end to the IPL legend’s run in the league, CSK CEO KS Viswanathan said team combination and form meant the left-handed UP batter could not fit into the team.
