It is uncertain whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni will play in Friday’s Indian Premier League opener between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, led by Hardik Pandya. Dhoni did not bat at the nets on Thursday because he injured his knee during a training session in Chennai. Prior to Dhoni’s injury, the Titans were odds-on favorites to win the game because Pandya led the team to a title in its first season.

In the two matches that the two teams played last season, Gujarat prevailed. Additionally, Gujarat’s Shubman Gill appears to be as consistent as ever, and Rashid Khan is currently in excellent condition. David Miller will be absent from the home team because he is on duty with the national team. Rahul Tewatia, on the other hand, is able to take his place.

Additionally, the team has hired Kane Williamson, an experienced player. Mahendra Singh Dhoni will keep on driving the group, despite the fact that there are bits of hearsay that the 2023 season might be his rearward in the association; Ben Stokes, a superstar player from England who will make his debut for the men in yellow on Friday, will also be a focus. The previous season, Chennai Super Kings performed poorly.
