Both LSG and CSK suffered similar fate in their opening encounters, losing out the Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), respectively.
Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden believes Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are capable of winning IPL 2022 and retaining the title, despite a change in leadership.

After facing a defeat against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their previous match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to bounce back with a win against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match 8 of the Indian Premier League (IPL). PBKS, on the other hand, had stunned RCB in their first game after chasing down a daunting total of 206. The Mayank Agarwal-led side will aim to continue their strong start with a win over KKR, who have won and lost a game each so far. KKR will once again rely on their veteran pacer Umesh Yadav, who has already hit the ground running with four wickets in the first two matches.
Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to continue with their risk-taking approach despite mixed returns when they take on Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League in Mumbai on Friday. KKR head into Friday's game at the back of a three-wicket loss against RCB, although they managed to make the game close after a below-par total. PBKS began their campaign with a win but they would expecting a better bowling effort after conceding more than 200 runs in their first game. South Africa speedster Kagiso Rabada is expected to play after completing his three-day quarantine and that will give a big boost to the Punjab attack.
Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum on Wednesday revealed that Andre Russell wasn't 100 per cent fit towards the end of the IPL 2022 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the 12th over, KKR all-rounder Russell dived on the boundary and suffered some problem with his bowling shoulder. Consequently, Venkatesh had to bowl one of his overs at the death. "Dre had run around the boundary and dived, and unfortunately picked up a little bit of a bump. His shoulder was a little bit sore. But Dre being Dre, he still wants to try to get the job done, and he wasn't quite able to. Those are things which happen in low-scoring games," McCullum said in the post-match press conference.
Harshal Patel had a brilliant outing as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by three wickets on Wednesday to register their first win of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The seamer bowled brilliantly for his figures of 2/11 and also hit an unbeaten 10 off six deliveries to help RCB complete a tricky chase at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Having had a breakthrough season last year when he equalled Dwayne Bravo's record of most wickets in an IPL season, Harshal joined another elite list with his performance on Wednesday.
