Gujarat will face challenge from Chennai

Usually it is seen that only the two finalist teams of the previous season face each other in the first match of the next season. Who can forget the final of IPL 2023 which was the most unique final in IPL history. This match was played on the reserve day and people sacrificed their sleep to watch the match late at night. Now once again the first match of the next season can be played between the two teams. Indian Express has given this information in a special report.

Gujarat team will field with a new captain

Gujarat Titans team, which played for the first time in IPL 2022, became the champion. However, Hardik Pandya was the captain of the team that season. But in the upcoming IPL, the team is going to be under the captaincy of its new and young captain Shubman Gill. Hardik Pandya has returned to his old team Mumbai Indians and has also become the captain. That means, on March 22, young Shubman Gill may face experienced MS Dhoni. Express also told in its report that Arun Dhumal has reiterated that the entire tournament will be held in India only.

Now the final approval is awaited on this and it remains to be seen whether the final decision will be taken by the IPL Governing Council. Chennai Super Kings had won the title last season and Gujarat team became the runner up. Whereas Gujarat Titans have been finalists in both the last and their first seasons. In such a situation, the challenge before Gill will be to take forward this excellent performance of the team. Whereas this could be Dhoni’s last season and in such a situation the fans would like to bid him farewell with victory.
