CSK will meet defending champions Gujarat Titans in the tournament opener.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni is leading his troops' preparations for the upcoming IPL 2023 season at a training camp in Chennai at Chepauk. With the tournament just three weeks away, CSK and the other franchises are gearing up for two months of action-packed cricket in the IPL.
Dhoni, 41, is likely to bid farewell to the game and his beloved franchise in the capacity of a player at the end of this season, if reports are to be believed. The 4-time IPL winner will look to sign off with another title as well as thank his fans for their love over the years in Chennai and around the country with the tournament returning to the home and away format for the first time since 2019.
