The Indian Premier League is back for another blockbuster tournament in 2022 following a disrupted competition last year.

Mumbai and Pune are hosting the entire tournament for this edition as the reigning champions Chennai Super Kings return in the hunt for their fifth title.

They will open the tournament with a rematch of the 2021 final against the Kolkata Knight Riders and the entire competition is bigger than ever following the addition of two all-new teams.

A total of 10 franchises will now compete for the trophy, up from eight, with the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans being founded at the end of 2021, ready to make their debuts in 2022.

UK fans will be able to soak up all the drama live on TV thanks to extensive coverage from Sky Sports across their multiple platforms.
