With the COVID situation in the country under control, the board’s top brass can relax; and the IPL is likely to return to India in its entirety after a two-year hiatus; with at least a quarter-capacity crowd allowed in stadiums this season.

With the addition of new clubs, the number of games has been expanded to 74 from 60; extending the IPL window to nearly two months.

This season, there will be no need to discuss travel since all of the alliance recreations; will be held in four diverse areas in Maharashtra (three in Mumbai and one in Pune). Maintaining the trueness of pitches over a two-month period will be troublesome for keepers; but at the very least, half of the competition is anticipated to be a high-scoring contest. The ruddy soil pitches at Wankhede, CCI, and D.Y. Patil are anticipated to have more bounce, whereas the dark soil surface in Pune is anticipated to have more turn.

The 2022 version may well be one of the foremost competitive in competition history; with the Supergiants and Titans creating their groups from the ground up and existing establishments; having to give up a chunk of their players some time recently the major auction. The IPL will choose the fate of some Indian players ahead of the World Cup; which is able be held in Australia afterward this year.

Does MI have a home-field advantage?

With the departures of the Pandya brothers and Trent Boult, the group appears to be less impressive, at least on paper.All eyes will be on Virat Kohli at Illustrious Challengers Bangalore, as is custom, in spite of the reality that he has cheerfully ceded the captaincy.

With the weight of captaincy lifted off his shoulders, the previous India captain is expected to recover his batting form and play a key role in making a difference for the club in the tricky trophy.

Faf du Plessis, a long-serving CSK hitter, has been given the captaincy within the trusts of fulfilling something phenomenal at RCB. Is this Dhoni’s last season? Dhoni pulled a Dhoni by leaving as CSK captain three days some time recently the team’s to begin with amusement. 

Whereas his choice was not unforeseen, it has fueled guess over whether he will play in all of the games. With the 40-year-old venturing down, Ravindra Jadeja, who will be captaining a high-profile squad for the primary time, has taken center arrange.

Jadeja’s outstanding performance in international cricket over the previous several years will undoubtedly give him the confidence to lead from the front, and he will always have Dhoni at his side in a crisis.

It’s time for Iyer, KL, and Hardik to prove their captaincy abilities.

After leading the Delhi Capitals to their first ever final, Iyer was forced to step down as captain due to a shoulder ailment. He returned to the auction, and KKR paid a high price for his services.

The elegant batsman has been in excellent form for India recently, and he will be hoping to continue that form in the IPL and lead KKR to their third title. The progress of his India teammate Hardik Pandya will be eagerly monitored throughout the IPL. Hardik Pandya has a point to prove after losing his place in the Indian team due to his inability to bowl regularly following back surgery in 2019.

It’s still unclear whether he’ll bowl much in the IPL, so his batting form is even more important. In any case, he’ll need to come up with something unique to revitalize his career while also ensuring that first-timers Gujarat put in a competitive performance.

K L Rahul, Hardik’s close friend, will also have to motivate a young team. Despite his lack of success as captain, both in India and in the IPL, the opener will be hoping for another productive season with the bat while also managing a talented group of players.
