Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders clash in the first match of the 15th IPL.
Chennai and Kolkata clashed in the final of the IPL last year, beating Kolkata to win the IPL trophy for the fourth time.
Subsequently, the two teams have been clashing in the current IPL series. Jadeja has been appointed as the new captain of the Chennai team and Shreyas Iyer as the new captain of the Kolkata team. In this, Shreyas Iyer, who won the toss, opted for fielding. Accordingly, the CSK team is currently batting.
Earlier, the IPL auction ended last February and with many players joining the new squads, fans are eager to see what the IPL series will look like this time around. Meanwhile, WWE star Seth Rollins has congratulated a young player on the Kolkata team as a surprise.
Venkatesh Iyer, who made his debut for Kolkata last season, was also part of the Indian team for his outstanding performance. Not only that, the Kolkata team has retained him for this season. Meanwhile, Venkatesh Iyer had stated that he loves 'WWE' and is a big fan of Seth Rollins.
Following this, Seth Rollins has congratulated Venkatesh Iyer, in a video, "Venkatesh is my man. I have come to know that you are my ardent fan. Now you have the IPL series ahead of you. My blessings and encouragement are always with you. Go and grab the trophy."
A video of a WWE star congratulating a young Indian cricketer has gone viral. Similarly, all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer's involvement in this IPL series could definitely increase India's chances of joining the T20 World Cup squad.
