GT Vs CSK 1st Match TATA IPL 2023: Team’s Preview
The defending champions of the TATA IPL 2023 season, Gujarat Titans will take on the four-time champion side, Chennai Super Kings in their first match of this cash-rich league tournament.
GT under Hardik Pandya was simply awesome in the last season of the TATA IPL 2022 and Pandya will want to go in the repeat mode in this edition as well.
The GT team looks more dangerous side after they have included Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan in their playing XI.
The two former players from the Sunrisers Hyderabad team are the best players of the T20I format for their respective countries and their contributions will be vital for Titans in this first match.
Hardik Pandya has been an inspirational skipper so far. He had led the Indian team wonderfully as well after his heroics with the Gujarat Titans' side last year.
This year too, Pandya would be hoping to have a good season with the bat and ball. His four overs will be crucial in the context of the game and Hardik would also share the new ball attack with Mohammed Shami.
While the Chennai Super Kings would like to come up from the disastrous TATA IPL 2022 season. CSK finished ninth on that points table last year.
This year Dhoni and his men would be eyeing their fifth IPL Glory as this edition might be the last one for their senior pro, Thalai, MS Dhoni. In 2020 as well CSK had a poor season.
But they made a solid comeback and won the next edition of the IPL in 2021 which was played in the United Arab Emirates.
Can Dhoni and Co repeat that magic once again in this 16th edition? This year, the Yellow Army team looks good on paper. The arrival of Ben Stokes has given them an edge.
But Stokesy will play only as a batter and he will not bowl in a few opening games because of a knee issue.
So, the likes of Deepak Chahar, Simarjeet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary will have to take a lot of responsibility as the pace bowlers.
The main issue with the CSK side is the backend overs. With Stokes not bowling at all, CSK will have to find answers for that. The side has the batting depth. But the issue with them is their bowling.
