CSK v KKR: IPL 2021 runners up Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Chennai Super Kings by 6 wickets in the opening fixture of the IPL 2022.

After his first win in the first match as KKR captain, Shreyas Iyer said, 'There is always tension when MS Dhoni is batting. I knew momentum was going to shift towards them with the dew around. It was difficult to grip the ball. Enjoying the new franchise.'

'It was spungier than we imagined. This is one place I love to play. I grew up here. I thought it would be flat. It was pretty easy for me with the bowling lineup I had. Umesh has worked hard in the nets and did well in the practice games too.' added Iyer.

KKR will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in their second match this season on March 30th.
