IPL 2022: Here Is What Matthew Hayden Said About CSK Winning IPL

IPL 2022: In the first match of the season, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated CSK by six wickets. But the Ravindra Jadeja-led side will be hoping to pick up their first points against LSG on Thursday.

New Delhi: Former Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden said that defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can win IPL 2022. CSK has won the IPL four times. However, in the first match of IPL 2022, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated CSK by six wickets. In the match both the batting and the bowling of CSK had failed to click the way, they would have liked.

But the Ravindra Jadeja-led side will be hoping to pick up their first points at the Brabourne Stadium when they meet with Lucknow Super Giant on Thursday.

“CSK will not be disheartened with the loss in their opening game against KKR. There were plenty of positives for the Ravindra Jadeja-led side. Their top-order saw a rare batting collapse in the first game but there’s a lot of experience in the side and I am sure they’ll come back stronger in the next game,” Aussie batting legend Hayden said during an episode of Cricket Live on Star Sports.

“They missed Moeen Ali in the tournament opener and he will be available for selection in the next match. CSK have it in them to it pull off and that makes them a dangerous side,” he added.
