The first match of the IPL is going to be played between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans on 31st March 2023 from 7:30 PM IST at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The clash is already being hyped as one of the matches to watch out for in IPL 2023. The tickets for this game have been sold out despite it being the first match of the tournament.
MS Dhoni is expected to retire after this season, and this has raised the hopes of CSK fans for another IPL trophy. This IPL is also going to be crucial for Hardik Pandya, who is being viewed as the next captain of the Indian cricket team after Rohit Sharma. Chennai Super Kings recently announced that Kyle Jamieson is going to miss the tournament, and they have signed the South African bowler Sisanda Magala as his replacement.
