IPL Season 15 will start from today. The first match will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Mahendra Singh Dhoni had decided to step down from the Chennai captaincy two days before the start of the tournament and Ravindra Jadeja will now lead Chennai. On the other hand, the command of KKR has been handed over to the young player Shreyas Iyer. Both teams are very strong and the first game is expected to be very exciting.
