The inaugural match of the 16th Indian Premier League (IPL) will see Gujarat Titans locking horns with Chennai Super Kings. The high-octane clash is slated to be hosted at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 31. Gujarat Titans will kick off their campaign in the IPL 2023 with the aim to clinch their second consecutive title.
In the previous edition, which was their first, the Hardik Pandya-led unit suffered just four defeats, all of which came in the group stage. Chennai Super Kings, however, were quite far from the trophy race. The Yellow Army could not qualify for the playoffs, finishing as the second-last team in the league table. CSK’s latest triumph came in the 2021 edition.
