Hello and Welcome everyone, It is time has come for the biggest sporting festival of the country, The Indian Premier League. The tournament opener of the 16th edition of the league will be held at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium where the defending Champions Gujarat Titans will lock horns with the four-time Champions Chennai Super Kings. The audience in attendance will not only be excited to see their home team perform in front of them but also for the return of 'Thala' Mahendra Singh Dhoni who takes the field in what might just be his last tournament. The season introduces a new set of rules which makes the format even more interesting, the most exciting of which is the 'IMPACT PLAYER RULE'<\/strong> which allows the teams to include a player who is not a part of the Playing 11 in the side at any moment in either inning. Another rule is the one that gives the bowling side a provision to take DRS for a 'Wide or No Ball' called by the On-field Umpire. Also, the captains will now be allowed to name the playing 11 after the Toss takes place. HEAD TO HEAD:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n VENUE STATS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n TOSS:-<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans Captain:<\/strong><\/span> "We'll field first. It is always good to play here being the home team. New start, new season, it is quite exciting with the whole build up to the tournament. I have been a huge fan and admirer of MS and have looked to learn from him whenever playing with or against him. Want the team to go out there with a smile and enjoy themselves and the Result will take care of itself. The Playing combination is something that I leave up to Ashish Nehra who does all the thinking being the coach of the team." Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings Captain<\/strong>:<\/span> "We would have bowled as well. Looks like a good wicket and I don't think it will change much during the course of the game. Not sure if there will be dew because it rained last night. This stadium's capacity is twice the of other stadiums in the country so it would be some experience in this Fantastic atmosphere. The preparation leading up to the tournament was good. We assembled quite early for the camp and trained together with the unit. The new rule introduced makes it interesting and it's a luxury to have an impact player which can be introduced depending upon the situation." <\/p>\n","PostMatchCommentary":" Powerplay (1-6 Overs) :-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n CSK- 51\/2 (8.5 rpo, 7x4, 2x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>GT- 65\/1 (10.8 rpo, 7x4, 3x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Middle Overs (7-15 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n CSK- 82\/2 (9.1 rpo, 2x4, 8x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>GT- 73\/3 (8.1 rpo, 5x4, 2x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Death Overs (16-20 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n CSK- 45\/1 (9.0 rpo, 1x4, 3x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>GT- 44\/1 (10.4 rpo, 3x4, 3x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n It was a good call from Hardik Pandya to bowl first as the Titans ended up on the winning side in the first match of IPL 2023. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Hardik Pandya, Gujarat Titans Captain: "Obviously very happy with the outcome. We did put ourselves in a difficult situation in the end but Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan did brilliantly. We were happy at the mid-innings because at one point CSK were going well and looked like getting 200 plus, but we got those couple of wickets to pull things back. Having Rashid Khan is a real asset, he will get you wickets and get you some runs too. As batters we need to take responsibility so the lower order does not have pressure when they come into bat, This is something which we will look to improve upon, our shot selection. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings Captain: "There was always going to be dew but the batting unit could have done a bit more. Ruturaj Gaikwad was brilliant throughout and deserved a century, it is a pleasure to watch him bat when he times the ball like this. I think it is important for youngsters to step up. I think Raj Hangargekar has good pace and will only get better with time. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n RASHID KHAN is the Player of the Match. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n Rashid Khan: "So very happy to receive this crucial Man of the Match. It Will give me a lot of energy for the rest of the tournament. I always try to do my best in all three formats and give it all in the practice and training sessions too. The plan is a bit hard to bowl to lefties, but the idea was to keep it tight and I knew in my mind that if I keep it simple and get two wickets, we will be definitely back in the game. Very happy with the way things went"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchOrder":"Match 1","MatchDateTime":"2023-03-31 19:30:00","Innings1Overs":"20","Innings2Overs":"20","ProjectedScore":"188","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","RemainingBalls":"4"}]});
\nThe Titans will look to start their campaign on a winning note considering the success they had against their opponents in the last year's edition. Super Kings exited the tournament in the group stage last year but can never be taken lightly as the team is no short of firepower and experience in the camp. Both sides have some exciting talents in their ranks which ensures a cracker of a contest, to say the least. CSK side looks star-studded with the likes of MSD, Rururaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, and the newly included Ben Stokes who makes the balance of the side a lot better. GT on the other side has not made many changes to their winning combination which includes the likes of Skipper Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and the newly inducted Kane Williamson who brings a lot more solidity to their batting unit. Let the contest between the Master MSD and apprentice Hardik Pandya begin!

\n <\/p>\n\ngot off to a decent start in the powerplay but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. It seemed like Ruturaj Gaikwad
was playing on a different track altogether as the opener smashed 92 of just 50 balls at a staggering strike rate of 184. None of the other batters got going and CSK managed to set a target of 179 for the defending Champions. In response,
started well Saha, Gill, and Sai Sudarshan all got off to good starts and played as per the situation demanded. Shubman Gill top scored with 63 of just 36 balls putting the titans in the driver's seat in the run-chase. CSK did come back in the match after the dismissal of Gill but some valuable cameos from Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tewatia and most importantly Rashid Khan took GT home with 4 balls to spare. Khan smashed 10 runs off 3 balls when the team was needing 10 runs per over. The first match of IPL 2023 delivered as promised as the match could have gone either way till the very last over! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
