Indian T20 League 2022: Chennai vs Kolkata Fantasy Cricket Match-Ups

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan March 25, 2022

The 15th edition of the Indian T20 League begins with a marquee clash as four-time winners Chennai take on Kolkata at Wankhede Stadium. Both teams met in last season’s final, and Chennai overcame Kolkata by 27 runs.

We analyse three key First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups ahead of the tournament opener.

S Iyer vs R Jadeja

Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer has been in excellent form in T20Is lately. The 27-year-old, who hit a hat-trick of half-centuries against Sri Lanka in the T20I series, is likely to bat at the No. 3 position and has a safe pair of hands. Chennai's newly-appointed captain Ravindra Jadeja will be keen to pick up from where he left off last season. He averaged 50 fantasy points per match in the 2021 edition and is likely to outwit Iyer in the tournament opener.

V Iyer vs R Gaikwad

With 370 runs in ten innings, Venkatesh Iyer took fantasy cricket players by surprise in the last edition of the Indian T20 League. He carried on his excellent T20 form, playing a pivotal role in India’s T20I series win over New Zealand, West Indies, and Sri Lanka. Ruturaj Gaikwad amassed 635 runs and grabbed the Orange Cap in the 2021 season. The Pune-born opener, who struggled to get playing time in the national team, will be keen to continue his exploits in the Indian T20 League.

A Russell vs S Narine

Andre Russell missed most of Kolkata’s campaign in the second phase of the Indian T20 League last season. The all-rounder, who had decent outings in Australian and Bangladesh T20 Leagues, will be keen to impress in Kolkata colours. Meanwhile, Sunil Narine struggled to pick up wickets in the recently concluded Bangladesh T20 League but bowled economically throughout the campaign. The 33-year-old is seven wickets away from reaching 150 wickets in the Indian T20 League.
 
S Narine made two 50+ plus fantasy points - 75 points & 56 points - against Chennai last season
