IPL 2023: The wait for IPL 2023 is about to end. IPL 2023 will start on March 31 at 7.30 pm. Every team has its own expectations and the fans have their own expectations. If the expectation is close to the reality, then success is certain. Talking about IPL 2023, like every time, this time also all the teams will start their campaign with the hope of title. But if we go to the team combination, then three-four teams look very strong. At the same time, the condition of three-four teams is thin.
Before winning the title of any tournament, it is necessary that the team reaches the finals. In IPL 2023, when we see the list of players of all the teams, their form and fitness, then two teams appear at the forefront of the final race. Mumbai Indians, who could not perform well last year. She will definitely make a comeback this time. It has to be seen how much Joffra Archer can compensate for the lack of Indian veteran Jasprit Bumrah.
Gujarat Titans very strong
Gujarat Titans is also last year’s champion and is very strong. Hard hitting of Hardik Pandya, reliable batting of Shubman Gill and bowling of Rashid Khan make this team favourite. The team of Chennai Super Kings is the champion of 4 times. Ben Stokes can be the trump card of this team. With the arrival of Ben, a different spark has come in the CSK team. He can appear in the role of specialist batter in the team. The management has indicated that the bowling of Ben Stokes will be reduced.
KKR’s condition is thin
Last year, the team of Kolkata Knight Riders was seen struggling. This time his condition may get worse as captain Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out. Delhi Capitals have a different story. Delhi’s team is good, but does not reach the finals. This year too, their best wicket-keeper batsman and captain Rishabh Pant is out due to injury. I think the Delhi team has become a bit weak due to the absence of Pant.
Lack of spark in Rajasthan Royals
The team of Rajasthan Royals performed well in IPL 2022. But somewhere, he lacks a spark, which stops him from reaching the finals. They reach the semi-finals. But after that they get stuck in the line they have to cross.
RCB can surprise
Similarly, the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore has never won the IPL. The team has remained away from the title even after bringing the best players. Virat Kohli would like this distance to end. RCB has good players and this team can surprise with its performance this time.
Lucknow’s claim strong
According to me, the biggest 2 contenders to reach the finals this year are Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Supergiants. Lucknow Supergiants is a very good team. This team, captained by KL Rahul, missed out on reaching the final by a small margin last year. I think this time this team is very strong and will not repeat the previous mistake.
Some weaknesses in Mumbai-Chennai
The choice of many cricket lovers can be Mumbai Indians and Chennai Superkings. But I think Mumbai Indians will definitely miss Jasprit Bumrah. Its compensation is not possible. The batting of Chennai Super Kings is not very reliable right now. There are some new players in the team and it has to be seen how quickly they adjust.
Lucknow-Gujarat will get home advantage
The Indian Premier League is played in home and away format. I think Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Supergiants can get more home advantage than other teams. One reason for this is also that most of their players are Indians.
