Ever since the ‘Hitman’ took over as the skipper, the ‘Men in Blue and Gold’ have dominated the IPL, and have emerged as a major powerhouse. But then, the 2022 edition of the IPL has gotten bigger, with the addition of two new IPL franchises &#8211; Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans.

The rivalry between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) is arguably the greatest in IPL history. CSK and MI are two of the most successful franchises, that have won a staggering nine IPL titles between them, and have always provided the fans with riveting battles.

In the 2021 edition of the tournament, both these teams met twice and won one game each. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/you-dont-have-your-private-space-sakshi-dhoni-narrates-bitter-side-of-being-married-to-ms-dhoni/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni’s</a> CSK bought back some of their long-standing soldiers in the 2022 IPL mega auction. The likes of Robin Uthappa, Deepak Chahar, and Ambati Rayudu all returned back to CSK.

Needless to say, in the 2022 edition of the IPL too, CSK will pose a threat to Mumbai Indians (MI), and the contest between the two teams will keep fans at the edge of their seats.

Delhi Capitals (DC) have emerged as a force to reckon with in the recent past in IPL cricket. And, the Capitals strengthened their squad in the 2022 IPL mega auction, and have a number of players in their ranks who can turn the course of a match.

The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Anrich Nortje, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Mustafizur Rahman, Tim Seifert, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-yash-dhull-keen-to-learn-from-virat-kohli-rishabh-pant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a> himself are players who can give jitters to the opposition on their day. Delhi Capitals beat the Mumbai Indians on both occasions when the two teams met in the 2021 edition of the IPL.

In fact, even the Head-to-Head record between the two teams is tight. While MI has won 16 matches between the two sides, DC emerged winners 14 times. Surely MI will not find it easy when they take the field against DC in IPL 2022.

The Lucknow Super Giants will be making their debut in the 2022 edition of the IPL. And they will do so, with a strong squad that boasts of proven match winners. Led by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/from-not-being-seen-as-a-t20-specialist-to-becoming-a-beast-virat-kohli-reflects-on-kl-rahuls-great-ipl-transfomation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KL Rahul</a>, the side made smart buys in the 2022 IPL mega auction.

Marcus Stoinis, Quinton De Kock, Jason Holder, Krunal Pandya, Kyle Mayers, and Evin Lewis are players who can turn the match on its head in a jiffy. Apart from that, they have also got some talented youngsters in their arsenal like Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan.

Needless to say, the Lucknow Super Giants will pose a threat to the other teams in the IPL, and the same goes with the MI side as well. Rohit Sharma and his men will have their task cut out against the Lucknow side.
