The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 got underway on March 26, Saturday, with the inaugural fixture between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). 

A total number of 70 league matches and four Playoff games will be played in the duration of 65 days. All the matches will be played in Mumbai and Pune with the iconic Wankhede Stadium and DY Patil Stadium holding 20 matches each while Brabourne and MCA International stadium, Pune, playing host to 15 fixtures each.

The lucrative tournament has become the most successful T20 franchise league around the world. It not only gives a chance to youngsters to showcase their talents but also to the veterans to continue to be a part of the game even after their retirement. 

The IPL has also seen bowlers from across the world showcase their talents and prove themselves to be a handful even though the shortest format remains richly dominated by the batters. It has also been a run-scoring fest over the years due to its format and combination of the franchises which helps them to pile up big totals.
