NEW DELHI : Moeen Ali said he has no issues with his spin being used sparingly by captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni after the Chennai Super Kings all-rounder helped his team to victory over Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
Opener Shubman Gill smashed 63 as holders Gujarat Titans beat Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in the Indian Premier League opener in front of more than 100,000 fans in Ahmedabad on Friday.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 began with a glittering opening ceremony in Ahmedabad on Friday. Stars like Rashmika Mandanna, Tamannaah Bhatia, Arijit Singh were the star performers. After the starry performance, it was time for a blockbuster match between four-time champions Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans. Ahead of the game between the MS Dhoni-led CSK and the Hardik Pandya-led GT, former Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri was present at the toss as a commentator. By mistake, Shastri called the Hardik Pandya-led team as Gujarat Giants and not Gujarat Titans. Gujarat Giants is a team in the Women's Premier League.
Shubman Gill eclipsed Ruturaj Gaikwad's high-quality knock with a dazzling half-century as Gujarat Titans began their title defence with a convincing five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings in the IPL opener in Ahmedabad on Friday. Gaikwad was all class in his 92 off 50 balls before Titans pulled things back in the middle overs to limit Chennai Super Kings to 178 for seven after opting to bowl first in front of a near capacity crowd at the world's largest cricket stadium. In the form of his life over the past three months, Gill played some jaw-dropping strokes in his 63 off 36 balls to set up a fine win for the home team. Titans got home in 19.2 overs.
The new season of the Indian Premier League is here, and Chennai Super Kings will be playing the first match against Gujarat Titans. The 2022 season was a disappointing one for the four-time champions as they finished ninth in the ten-team tournament with just eight points. Ravindra Jadeja started the season as the captain but midway, he left his position due to the pressure of the job as well as the worrying run of form. MS Dhoni became the skipper once again, but it was too little too late for CSK.

Reigning one-day and T20 world champions England are the only side to register a 50-over series win in Bangladesh since 2015. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is regarded as one of the finest captains India ever had. From the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 to the prestigious Champions Trophy in 2013, the former wicketkeeper-batter took India to great heights under his leadership. Even though Team India became the No 1 Test side during the tenure of Virat Kohli's captaincy but it was Dhoni, who had led India to their memorable win over England at Lord's in the first Test of the five-match series in 2014. The victory is still cherished by the fans as Team India took a revenge of the whitewash they faced in 2011 during a four-match Test series against England. However, pacer Ishant Sharma, who bowled his career-best spell in the match and took a seven-wicket haul, shared an interesting tale about Dhoni.
Proteas batter Rassie van der Dussen will make his debut in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which got under way on Monday.
