Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL 2022 Schedule

The Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer, are set to start their campaign against four-time winners and defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening day of the tournament at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. When these two teams met last year at the same venue, a high-scoring game took place. The Knights will also play at the DY Patil Stadium and Brabourne Stadium. On that note, here is the schedule for CSK in the group phase:

• March 26 – CSK vs KKR – 7:30 PM (Wankhede Stadium)

Can KKR turn their fortunes around?

In the last four seasons, the Knights used two skippers, Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan. Even as Morgan was impressive as a skipper, his form with the bat was shambolic, to say the least. Prior to the mega auction, they retained Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer and Varun Chakravarthy.

They also appointed Shreyas Iyer as their skipper. The inclusion of Pat Cummins, Mohammad Nabi, Sam Billings and Tim Southee has also strengthened their team to a large extent.
