Chennai Super Kings (CSK) locked horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), on Saturday in the tournament opener of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Both teams were led by new skippers, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shreyas Iyer. The venue for the match was Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. KKR won the toss and decided to bowl. The Chennai-based franchise put up a disappointing performance with the bat as they managed to score a below-par total of 131.

Most of the CSK batter failed to capitalize on good starts, while other batsmen failed to get going. However, the good news for the franchise is that the former skipper, MS Dhoni looked in phenomenal touch. After struggling in the initial phase, Dhoni scored an unbeaten half-century in just 38 deliveries.

Umesh Yadav put his hand up for the visitors as he had scalped a couple of wickets while giving just 20 runs in his quota of 4 overs. He was awarded as the Player of the Match.

What comes as worrying news for the franchise is that Ambati Rayudu, the veteran batter got injured while fielding. Rayudu’s knee got stuck while attempting a slide trying to save a boundary.
