Ben Stokes, Devon Conway and Moeen Ali could likely be MSD's three overseas picks, or will he pull off a surprise pick, who knows? But a lot will ride on the shoulders of seasoned Indian campaigners like Ravindra Jadeja, Ambati Rayudu and Dhoni himself.
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE
Time for the toss. The two captains - MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya - are out in the middle. And Ravi Shastri's booming voice returns to further boost the excitement!
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE
For CSK, Ben Stokes will play only as a batsman (atleast initially), but the kind of impact he can have even with the bat makes him a valuable resource for MSD. But, that also means he can be an ideal candidate as 'Impact Player'. However, that will depend on whether Chennai bats first or second, and if Dhoni chooses to play with three foreigners instead of four.
IPL 2023 Opening Ceremony Live Updates:
Next up, Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya arrives at the dais in a chariot as well. He's a local Gujarati boy, but the crowd goes berserk chanting "Dhoni, Dhoni, Dhoni" And fireworks erupt, now for the cricketing pyrotechnics to begin!
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE:
Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrives to the dais in a yellow chariot. Emcee Mandira Bedi calls him the "captain of the away team", to be fair he's always at home among cricket fans around the world!
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE:
How Hardik Pandya fares in his second stint as captain will depend a lot on whether Shubman Gill takes his purple patch to the IPL, and whether Rashid Khan continues to be his miserly self with the ball. With Pandya himself capable of dismantling any opposition with both the bat and the ball, Gujarat will once again be the team to beat.
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE:
IPL 2022 saw Hardik Pandya turn up for his first year as an IPL captain and boy did he perform with the skipper's armband on him! He tempered his flamboyance to add a certain sense of calm in the Gujarat Titans' camp and saved his best for the final, becoming the first captain to win the 'Man of the Match' in the IPL Finals. Will he repeat the feat in IPL 2023?
IPL 2023 GT vs CSK LIVE:
Virat Kohli has scored the most runs in the history of IPL, while Dwayne Bravo has the most wickets. West Indian Chris Gayle has the highest score in an IPL match, while his compatriot Alzarri Joseph has the best bowling figures in an innings

Will Hardik Pandya's brand of fearless cricket trump Mahendra Singh Dhoni's time-tested composure till the last ball? It will be an even match-up when the defending champions Gujarat Titans clash with serial title winners and strong contenders Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League opener today. However, the news that MS Dhoni did not bat in the nets on Thursday could be a dampener for fans in Ahemdabad who would want to see him turn up at their turf one last time — considering the facts that this may be Dhoni's last IPL, and CSK may or may not make it to the finals which will be played at the same venue.
