The wait is over! The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to begin its 16th edition with defending champions Gujarat Titans hosting Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. IPL 2022 was a forgettable season for CSK as they finished ninth on the points table, recording their worst-ever performance in the league.

However, the team is determined to bounce back and show the world why they are four-time IPL champions. They have picked a good squad in IPL 2023 auctions by roping in Ben Stokes, for a whopping INR 16.25 crore. Stokes, who is known for his big-hitting and excellent fielding, could prove to be a game-changer for CSK.
