Sitting glued on the couch, donning your favourite team’s jersey, chanting names of players and breaking into a roar when your favourite team grabs a wicket. The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) promises to be another exciting affair with a total of players who will look forward to going in with a renewed spirit when they take on their global counterparts to stake their claim on the elusive IPL 2023 trophy. Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are set to clash in a blockbuster opening match of the IPL on March 31 at the prestigious Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

All ten teams have their preparations in full swing as a few franchises are busy scouting replacements for injured players. Meanwhile in a major blow to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp, captain Shreyas Iyer could reportedly be out of IPL 2023 owing to the recurrence of a back injury.
