On March 31 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, the upcoming season will be kickstarted with an IPL Opening ceremony ahead of the first match scheduled between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. The opening ceremony is scheduled to start at 6:00 PM IST, while the GT vs CSK game is slated to commence at 7:30 PM.
The upcoming IPL opening ceremony marks the first ceremony to take place since 2018, as the BCCI decided to cancel the ceremony in 2019 as a tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Pulwama attack in February of that year. In addition, the ceremony could not take place during 2020 to 2022 due to Covid-19 pandemic restrictions preventing large gatherings.
With the temperature expected to be around 33-27 degrees Celsius, it looks like the opening ceremony and season opener have been blessed with good weather.
The new venues announced for this season mean that IPL 2023 will be held in Ahmedabad, Mohali, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata, Jaipur, Mumbai, Guwahati, and Dharamshala. The tournament will consist of 70 league games, including 18 double headers. Each franchise will play seven home and away fixtures during the campaign. Rajasthan Royals will begin with their first two home matches in Guwahati and then move on to play their remaining games in Jaipur. On the other hand, Punjab Kings will play five of their home matches in Mohali and the remaining two in Dharamshala.
In the season opener, it will be a clash of Master and Apprentice as Dhoni’s CSK take on Hardik’s GT. Hardik, who made his India debut under Dhoni, led GT to the title in their debut campaign last year. Pandya has five IPL trophies in total, having won four times with MI as well. Dhoni and Pandya’s first stint as a captain was directly in a major tournament – Dhoni in T20 World Cup and Hardik in IPL. Dhoni has won the IPL four times.
For IPL 2023, the Impact Player rule has been introduced, which allows a team to bring in a player at any point in an innings to replace a player from the XI after the toss. However, the catch is that only four overseas players are allowed in each team’s XI, so if they have already filled up that slot, then the Impact Player can only be an Indian player.
