CSK vs GT: Will Dhoni be able to play the first match? Miller also out, playing-XI of both the teams may be like this

New Delhi. The 16th season of IPL 2023 (IPL 2023) is going to start from today. In the first match, defending champions Gujarat Titans will face Chennai Super Kings, who have won the title 4 times. Under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, Gujarat would like to maintain its winning streak. On the other hand, the matter of CSK captain MS Dhoni not being fully fit for the first match came to the fore. However, the management has made it clear that Mahi will play the first match. This match will be played at 7.30 pm at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. 1 lakh fans can reach the stadium to watch this match.

Talking about Gujarat Titans, Vijay Shankar’s performance at number-3 in the last season was nothing special, but with the arrival of New Zealand’s dashing batsman Kane Williamson, this problem of the team was almost over. On the other hand, David Miller will not be able to play this match due to the International Series. Last season, he played many important innings in the middle order. The team has also included Shivam Mavi as a fast bowler. Wicketkeeper Riddhimana Saha may once again get a chance to open.

Mukesh Chowdhary out
On the other hand, CSK has suffered a big setback. Fast bowler Mukesh Chaudhary, who performed well last season, is out due to injury. The team has given a chance to fast bowler Akash Singh in his place. Sri Lankan spinner Mahish Tikshna and fast bowler Mathisa Pathirana will be out of the opening matches due to the series against New Zealand. But the return of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja must have boosted the morale of the team. Fast bowler Deepak Chahar is also fully fit now.
