The 2023 Indian Chief Association starts off with a blockbuster opening conflict between reigning champs Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Rulers at the notorious Narendra Modi Arena in Ahmedabad. The team led by Hardik Pandya had a fantastic debut season last year, but the Titans still have a lot at stake because they now have to keep the trophy; something that has only been done by two teams thus far in the tournament’s history.
In contrast, Chennai Super Kings will aim for a fresh start after a forgettable season in which they finished ninth with only eight points. Despite rumors that the 2023 season may be Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s last in the league, he will continue to lead the team; Ben Stokes, a superstar in England who will make his first appearance for the men in yellow on Friday, will also be a focus.
Last season, Chennai Super Kings performed poorly. Out of 14 games, the team could only win four. They failed to make the playoffs and finished the league stage in ninth place in the points table with 8 points. CSK will go for the gold in IPL 2023.

Pitch Report
The wicket at Gujarat’s Narendra Modi Stadium is ideal for this style of play. Due to the expansive boundaries of their ground, spinners will enter the game. A good score in this case is anything above 175 points. Because there may be some dew in the send innings, the captain who wins the toss will try to field first.
