First time in the history of the IPL - KKR vs LSG: Highest opening partnership recorded!

The 66th league match of the IPL series was played yesterday (18.05.2022) at the Mumbai Stadium. The Kolkata Knight Riders, led by Shreyas Iyer, will take on the Lucknow Super Giants, led by KL Rahul. Lucknow won the toss and elected to bat first.
