IPL 2022: Chennai Super Kings Schedule

The 2022 season is unique in the sense that, unlike previous editions, each team will not play the other twice, rather all 10 teams will play only 14 games each. In that regard, they will play five teams twice and four teams just once. To decide, which four teams will the team play once and which five twice, 10 teams are divided into two groups of five each. The group is based on the number of Trophies won and the number of participations in an IPL Final.

The following is the division of Group

Each team will play all the teams in its own group twice and the team parallel to it in the other group twice. And for the rest of the teams in the other group, the said team will play them only once. For e.eg CSK will play all the teams in its group twice and Mumbai Indians from the other group twice as well, but the other four teams from the Mumbai Indians' group i.e. Group 1 will play CSK only once.

On that basis, here is the full schedule of CSK for IPL 2022
