So far only eight matches have been played but we have seen 200-plus while chasing twice.
This extravagant game of cricket has started entertaining the cricket fans. IPL 2022 began on 26 March with a fight between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in which KKR defeated CSK quite easily. We have seen some incredible performances with both bat and ball in the first week of the 15th edition IPL,
So far only eight matches have been played but we have seen 200-plus while chasing twice. The trailer of the season is full of fire and expect the entire season to be the best in the history of the league. The new captains of the teams have shown everyone why they are there.
Be it Faf du Plessis, Shreyas Iyer or Mayank Agarwal, all the new captains have been very impressive. We have also seen young talent making full use of the opportunities, especially Ayush Badoni of LSG. Badoni has impressed everyone and it is being praised a lot. Overall, a lot happened in the first week of the tournament.
Here, we will try to rate the teams according to their week’s performance:
10. Chennai Super Kings – 5/10
Despite playing two games, the defending champions are looking for their first win of the season. Chennai Super Kings Played the first match of the season against KKR and lost by six wickets. In their second match, they lost to LSG despite scoring 210 runs while batting first. LSG chased down the target with three balls to spare.
The biggest concern for CSK has been their bowling. Unlike last season, they have an inexperienced bowling attack in the absence of Deepak Chahar. He made three changes in his second game, despite the fact that CSK has been a franchise that doesn’t believe in experimenting too much.
CSK will have to find the rhythm to move ahead in the tournament. It’s the early days of the season and they have a lot of time to get into the rhythm. CSK’s champion opener, who had the Orange Cap on his head last season, has failed in both the games. CSK’s batting certainly depends heavily on Ruturaj Gaikwad.
