IPL 2022: Full league stage schedule for Kolkata Knight Riders, matches timings, venues and full squad

Indian Premier League champions Kolkata Knight Riders will once again be one of the teams to watch out for in the upcoming 15th edition of the cricket extravaganza, starting March 26. The 2021 runners-up this time will have a new skipper in Shreyas Iyer and with a bunch of solid retained players and some hot buys in the February auction, the team will look to replicate their success from their title winning editions of 2012 and 2014.

The Shahrukh Khan owned franchise will kick-start their 2022 campaign against another high profile team, the Chennai Super Kings on March 26, against whom they played the final last year and ended up on the losing side. Looking to settle some scores, KKR will eye a winning start to set the tone for the tournament.

Placed in Group A, KKR will be playing two games each against Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad (their counterpart from Group B). While from Group B, they will lock horns one time each with Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans in the league phase of the tournament.
