The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League will commence with a lavish inaugural ceremony and a blockbuster match between Gujarat Tigers and Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans, the defending champions, would like to begin their campaign with a victory, while Chennai would like to honour their legend MS Dhoni with a fifth title. Here is a comprehensive preview of the opening match of the IPL 2023 season. Read the potential combinations and dream XI predictions in our segment on fantasy sports.
Venue Details | Pitch Report
Last season, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosted two events. India and New Zealand played their most recent T20I match at this venue on February 1. In that game, Shubman Gill achieved his first century, and India scored 234 runs. This pitch will likely be of great assistance to the batters. In the first innings of the last five T20 matches played at this venue, the average score was 173 runs. The team that wins the coin toss will presumably opt to bowl.

Gujarat Titans
Under the direction of Hardik Pandya, the Titans made their début last season and won the tournament. They trounced Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium after chasing the target of 131 runs in 18.1 overs. This year, they released a total of six participants prior to the auction. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Lockie Ferguson were transferred to Kolkata Knight Riders. They made some astute decisions at the auction table and were the only team to achieve 100 percent success. The Ahmedabad-based franchise was successful in bidding for and acquiring seven players.
Chennai Super Kings
Last season, CSK finished second-to-last in the points table. This was their worst tournament performance to date. This year, they released eight players prior to the auction, including Adam Milne, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, and Robin Uthappa, among others. Uthappa and Bravo retired from the IPL. CSK has appointed Bravo as its bowling instructor. At the auction, they acquired a total of eight players, including the English Test captain Ben Stokes. After Rising Pune Supergiant and Rajasthan Royals, this will be Stokes’ third IPL franchise. This season, he will likely play a significant role for the team with both the bat and the ball.
