LSG did reasonably well during the IPL mega
auction and bought several big names like Quinton de Kock, Jason Holder, Krunal
Pandya, Deepak Hooda and Evin Lewis. On paper, they are looking as one of the
most balanced sides with most of their bases covered.
CSK, in the meantime, will look for their
fifth IPL title to equal Mumbai Indians’ tally.

In a social media post, CSK revealed their
new jersey. As seen, there’s hardly anything that separates their new jersey
from the old one, much like the team structure. Chennai have stuck to their
former players in IPL 2022 despite a mega auction and they have retained the
most players from their last IPL squad for this edition of the league.
