In the IPL 2021 final match, Faf du Plessis smashed 86 runs off 59 deliveries and CSK put up a total of 192 on the board. KKR openers Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer, both scored half centuries giving the team a perfect start for the chase but it was just a matter of minutes and the rest of the KKR batting line up fell like house of cards.
The IPL 2022 opener match will be interesting with the new look of the teams. Faf du Plessis was released by the CSK who will lead the Royal Challengers Bangalore now and Gujarat Titans bought Shubman Gill during the draft pick. KKR’s top bid in the mega auction was Shreyas Iyer who was appointed as the captain after the team released former skipper Eoin Morgan after the 2021 edition.
