One of the finest cricketers of all time, MS Dhoni has done wonders in the Indian Premier League, both as a captain and a player. It was in 2008 that Dhoni first led the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team, having been bought as the franchise's marquee player in the inaugural auction. Into the 16th edition of the T20 league, Dhoni stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the captains of the other franchises ahead of the start of the IPL 2023 season.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) remain one of the most formidable franchises in T20 cricket. With four Indian Premier League (IPL) titles to their name, the Super Kings are heading into the 2023 season of the league, hoping to win their 5th. While Dhoni remains the captain of the franchise, there are some big match-winners in the team, including Ravindra Jadeja and Ben Stokes. Harbhajan Singh, who has also played for CSK in his IPL career, admitted that Jadeja will have his special attention as he is the 'No. 1 all-rounder in the world'.
After defying all odds to lift the Indian Premier League (IPL) title in their maiden season last year, Gujarat Titans look to kick off their title defense in style when they go up against the Chennai Super Kings in the opening game of IPL 2023. Captain Hardik Pandya led the team by example with his all-round performances last season. His form will be key once again, while in-form Shubman Gill's presence at the top of the order will be pivotal too. David Miller, who played a crucial role with the bat in the middle-order last season, will miss the opener due to international commitments. GT roped in Kane Williamson during the IPL auction and it will be interesting to see how many games he will have under his belt.
Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders would bank on Chandrakant Pandit's tactical acumen as they fight injury and a thin on quality batting line-up in their bid to reclaim the coveted IPL title after nine years.

Carlos Alcaraz has admitted «nerves» but he still managed to overcome former champion Taylor Fritz to set up a showdown with Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals of the Miami Open. The world No. 1 was in dominant form once more as he swept past the American and local hero in straight sets, 6-4 6-2, to ensure his progression through to the last four in style with the young Italian his next intriguing opponent.
Holders Gujarat Titans will take on four-time champions Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Friday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Gujarat pulled off a fairytale title win in their debut season with Hardik Pandya leading the side to victory in front of a record crowd of almost 105,000 fans last year. CSK, on the other hand, had a campaign to forget last time out, finishing ninth in the table with just four wins from a possible 14. GT have managed to retain their core group of players from last season, whilst bolstering their squad with the additions of Kane Williamson, Josh Little and Odean Smith. Meanwhile, England Test captain Ben Stokes' arrival at CSK might boost the MS Dhoni-led side's title hopes this season.
