The IPL will kick off with bang and last year finalist that is Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.The match will play in Wankhede stadium, Mumbai at 7:30 IST. Both the team will play with new captains Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer.
Pitch of Wankhede ground will have bounce and pace with seam movement with the new ball afterwards spinners might get help.There can be dew too so toss winner will definitely choose to bowl first.
