Indian cricket's crown jewel, the IPL, is back home: bigger, better and longer. It will be the first time since 2011 that 10 teams be fighting it out for the most coveted T20 trophy in world cricket. Two new entrants, Lucknow Supergiants and Gujarat Titans, fetching a combined price of approximately USD 1.7 billion shows that brand IPL keeps getting bigger.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar on Friday said that Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is a great opportunity for the all-rounder, Suryakumar Yadav, to cement his position in Team India. Suryakumar is a part of Mumbai Indians (MI) after he was retained by the franchise ahead of the mega auction of IPL 2022. "It has been a wonderful last couple of seasons for Suryakumar Yadav and IPL 2022 is a great opportunity for him to cement his place in the Indian team by performing well again this season," said Gavaskar on Star Sports show, The Gameplan.
football friendly here on Saturday. Six players could not accompany the team that left Mumbai on Monday due to visa issues but they reached here on the day of the Bahrain match on Wednesday, with only Anirudh Thapa and Aniket Jadhav being able to play in that game against the hosts, that too in the second half. But against Belarus, head coach Igor Stimac is expected to use the services of Indian Super League-winning side Hyderabad FC defender Chinglensana Singh as well as midfield lynchpin Brandon Fernandes, who were among the six who landed here on Wednesday.
Indian Premier League's (IPL) motto has always been 'talent meets opportunity' and time and time again, it has been proven that the tournament is the best stage for everyone to show what they are truly made of. The IPL 2022 will begin on March 26 and fans will be eagerly waiting to see who takes the game by the scruff of the neck and grabs the opportunity to show their capability.
Sunrisers Hyderabad finished last among 8 teams in the last edition of the Indian Premier League. But this time, a rejuvenated team, led by the supremely talented Kane Williamson will be looking to regain its lost pride.
Punjab Kings will be hoping that their almost complete overhaul pays off when the franchise begins their IPL 2022 journey starting March 27. Punjab Kings splurged a lot of money at the auction table after having only retained Mayank and Arshdeep Singh.

The Lucknow based franchise owned by Sanjeev Goenka’s RPSG Group will be led by the very talented batting sensation -- KL Rahul.
