The 2023 season of the Indian Premier League begins this evening with Gujarat Titans taking on the Chennai Super Kings. The Hardik Pandya led Gujarat defied all odds to lift the cup in its debut season and hence there is a sense of expectation from the team to do well again. The hosts played fearless cricket last campaign and we could see each member of the team had a role to play. Head coach Ashish Nehra instilled confidence in them and that was evident in their performance on the ground. Opponents Chennai Super Kings are no pushovers though and have won the tournament on multiple occasions. There is a threat of rain playing spoilsport and that has dampened the mood of the spectators a bit. Gujarat Titans versus Chennai Super Kings will be telecasted on the Star Sports Network and streamed on the JioCinema app from 7:30 PM IST. GT vs CSK, Ahmedabad Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here's How Weather Will Behave for Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings IPL 2023 Clash at Narendra Modi Stadium.

Kane Williamson in at no 3 for Gujarat means they have found their ideal anchor man. The former Kiwi skipper must work on his strike rate though and if he can fix his game, he has an important role to play. Hardik Pandya and Rahul Tewatia will be the pinch hitters who can take the game away from the opposition in a matter of a few overs. In the bowling department, all eyes will be on spinner Rashid Khan and pacer Mohammed Shami, who are the key members.

MS Dhoni is a major doubt for the game as he is struggling with a niggle in his knee. Should the Indian legendary wicketkeeper-batsman miss the tie, it will be Devon Conway donning the keeper gloves. Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja – three of the finest all-rounders in the modern game all feature for the visitors and this certainly adds a lot of variety.
