The defending champion Gujarat Titans (GT) will face MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Ahmedabad on March 31 to kick off the IPL 2023 season.
After a disappointing campaign in the previous season of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will begin their quest for a record-equaling fifth title in IPL 2023.
Dhoni and Co., one of the elite tournament’s most successful teams, failed to win back their title in the 15th season of the world’s richest T20 league.
Last season, the cash-rich league’s defending champions lost in the league stage. CSK finished ninth in the IPL 2022 standings with four victories and ten losses.
From 14 league matches, the team starring Ravindra Jadeja only managed to score 8 points. After all-rounder Jadeja resigned, Dhoni returned to his position as captain of CSK for the 2022 season.
When Jadeja, an experienced all-rounder, took over for Dhoni as captain of CSK in the 2022 season, his performance dropped.
The star all-rounder will be eager to make amends in the upcoming cash-rich IPL season after a forgettable performance last year.
With his outstanding performances against Australia prior to the start of the IPL, Jadeja has regained his form.
Suresh Raina, a former Indian cricketer, believes that Jadeja will be a great support for Dhoni at CSK next season when it comes to the in-form all-rounder.
In recent times, Sir Jadeja has performed exceptionally well with both the bat and the ball, and he will be of great assistance to Dhoni.
He looks very strong and physically fit, so his rehab was excellent. Raina, who played for Chennai Super Kings and won four IPL titles, also praised CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad.
At the Chepauk, Ruturaj will play his first game. He is an excellent player who will undoubtedly succeed.
MS Dhoni will also be eager to return to Chepauk and engage in conversation with all of the “Yellow” and “Whistle Podu” fans.
It will be very exciting, and I hope we begin with a victory there. The defending champion Gujarat Titans (GT) will take on Dhoni’s CSK at Ahmedabad on March 31 to kick off the 2023 IPL.
