After 2019, it’ll be for the first time that the matches will be played with 100% occupancy in the stadium and unlike the last time, fixtures will be played all across India. Punjab Kings will have Mohali as its home ground for the first five games and will then move to Dharamshala for the remaining two home matches. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals will play in Guwahati as their home ground for the side’s first tw home matches before going back to their original home in Jaipur.

IPL Start Date

The IPL 2023 will start on March 31 with the reigning champion Gujarat Titans hosting the match against Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The Hardik Pandya led Titans beat MSD’s Super Kings on both the occasions in the 2022 edition. With this epic opener, CSK would look to register their first win over GT, but will the latter let it slip away is the question.
