IPL 2022 Format:
The IPL 2022 Schedule Format is similar to IPL 2011. The teams will be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 and Group 2. Now, these groups will have 5 teams each. Every team will play the other 4 teams in their groups two times which will boil down to 8 games. Further, every team will play 4 teams from the other group. The 1 team that remains from the other group, it will be played against two times.

Further, it will be playing SRH, RCB, LSG, and PBKS once. In the end, CSK will also be playing Delhi Capitals twice.
