On March 31st, 2023, the IPL began with a match between the Gujarat Titans and CSK at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Interestingly, the league’s season will conclude with a match between the same two teams, both of which will be vying for the championship.
Three days ago, in front of an enthusiastic home audience, CSK defeated Hardik’s team in Qualifier 1 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The defending champions, the Gujarat Titans, will have the support of their home supporters this time, having already defeated the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2 on Friday to set up a rematch with the Chennai Super Kings.
Sunil Gavaskar, an Indian cricket legend, wants the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to win the trophy, especially because he cherishes MS Dhoni. Gavaskar readily admitted that CSK holds a special spot in his heart as his second-favorite IPL team, second only to his hometown team, the Mumbai Indians. He expressed his desire for Chennai to win the trophy, stating that witnessing Dhoni’s victory for a second time would be nothing short of extraordinary.
Chennai Super Kings have always been my second-favorite team, behind only the New England Patriots. Gavaskar
“After the Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings have always been my second favorite team. My heart desires CSK to win because it would be fantastic if MS Dhoni could win it one more time. Once again demonstrating that cool, collected judgment can make a difference. In spite of this, Gujarat Titans were the strongest team. They have a fantastic opening pair in Shubman Gill and Hardik Pandya, according to Sunil Gavaskar on Sports Today.
The question of whether Dhoni will win his fifth title as captain, matching Rohit Sharma’s record, or whether Hardik will become the third consecutive captain to win the trophy remains unanswered. Both teams’ players are currently in excellent shape, making this a highly competitive contest.
