With plenty of hopes pinned on Chennai Super Kings this time, the MS Dhoni-led side would have ideally wanted to kick off their IPL 2023 season on a winning note.
It wasn’t the case.
The four-time IPL winners endured a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Gujarat Titans in the season-opener. Chennai batter Ruturaj Gaikwad was their star performer, hitting a 50-ball 92.
Chennai managed to reach 178/7 against the Hardik Pandya-led side. The target, however, never looked quite imposing and the defending champions scored the winning runs with four balls to spare. Chennai will now be aiming to register their first win of the 16th edition of the IPL when they take on Lucknow Super Giants tonight. The match between Chennai and Lucknow will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk in Chennai.

Lucknow, on the other hand, downed Delhi Capitals to start their IPL 2023 season convincingly. Lucknow pacer Mark Wood registered a scintillating five-wicket haul to earn a 50-run victory for his side.
