Analysis
KKR beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their opening encounter at the Wankhede stadium as Shreyas Iyer took charge of the new-look Kolkata side. Umesh Yadav was one of the key performers in the game, picking two wickets inside the powerplay and breaking the back of the CSK batting lineup. They beat a side who beat them in the IPL 2021 final and therefore set the record straight.
The Kings won a high-scoring encounter against RCB in their opening game. Their big overseas purchase Odean Smith scored 25 off just eight balls after the chase was set up by the opening stand of Shikhar Dhawan (43) and Mayank Agarwal (32). Bhanuka Rajapaksa also played a cameo batting at number tree, taking a liking to his Sri Lankan teammate Wanindu Hasarangra. It was an ideal game for the Kings who like the Knights, would like to build on the momentum.
