There’s absolute clarity around IPL 2022 now the tournament is set to begin on March 26th and The Final will be played on may 29th this year edition will take place entirely in India in bio secure bubbles but won’t take place across the country the number of stadiums have been condensed down to just four three stadiums in Mumbai The Wankhede Stadium 20 Matches, The Brabourne Stadium 15 Matches and The DY Patil Stadium 20 Matches by the fourth being The MCA International Stadium in Pune 20 Matches every team will play four matches each at the Wankhede Stadium and DY Patil and three games each at The Brabourne Stadium and MCA International Stadiums.
Remember there are ten teams in The IPL this year two new entrants Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans every team will continue playing 14 league matches but will only play five teams twice while playing four teams only once how did they get around this system though this can be tricky the
BCCI slotted these teams in two virtual groups how do they come about with that equation it’s fairly simple they listed down the teams in order of the number of championships they have and also in order of the number of finals they’ve played so if you look at that list.
Mumbai Indians from that list becomes the first team in Group A and Chennai Super Kings Becomes The first team in Group B as you go down that list teams keep slotting themselves alternatively in each groups every team in their own group will play those four teams twice while also playing twice against the team adjacent to them in the other group Mumbai Indians Will play the Chennai Super Kings twice The Kolkata Knight Riders will play the
Sunrisers Hyderabad twice Rajasthan Royals will play Royal Chellengers Bangole twice while playing only once with the other four teams from the other group so that’s how IPL 2022 will look then 70 league matches two virtual groups 10 teams a lot of excitement to look forward to that’s all
