IPL 2022: CSK's consistency vs KKR's unpredictability first up
Indian Premier League (IPL) champions. Since then, a mega-auction has happened, both Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have acquired a new look with their cores intact. And now they are back in the cauldron of Wankhede to kickstart a new season. The CSK-KKR rivalry isn’t exactly top billing, with the Chennai team generally having the better of the exchanges, including the last final. But KKR have had an X-factor over the years that always makes them an uncomfortable team to play first up. Probably, CSK’s bitterest-ever defeat in IPL came in the 2012 final at Chepauk against KKR when Manvinder Bisla played a blinder. Since then, CSK have always been cautious going into this fixture, more so due to the presence of the likes of West Indians Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. These two players have bothered the four-time champions time and again and CSK will try to ensure that the duo does not get going on Saturday.
