Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings Live Score, IPL 2023 Match 1: Gujarat Titans (GT) face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League lung-opener in Ahmedabad on Friday. Pandya-led Titans, who are the defending champions, hold the edge over Dhoni’s Super Kings after beating them over two legs in the previous season of the IPL. For the men in yellow, IPL 2022 was a season to forget after finishing second last in the points table last season, their worst performance in the tournament so far.
However, CSK are likely start without Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is struggling with a niggle in his left knee. It is understood that he is still feeling some discomfort and doesn’t want to push too much as the team is short on wicketkeeping options.
On Friday, as the 16th edition starts, it will be very different from earlier ones as 12 players per side will take part in the pitched battle at the Motera Stadium with the ‘Impact Player’ rule coming into play for the first time.
