GT vs CSK Match Preview

The Indian Premier League’s 16th season kicks off on Friday evening with the 2022 Champions Gujarat Titans taking on the four-time winners Chennai Super Kings. The Titans won the competition last year after winning the group stage, while the Super Kings finished ninth. Last year, the Gujarat Titans had a fantastic debut season in the IPL, playing highly engaging and striking cricket. We anticipate them to be a difficult team to beat again this season. Chennai Super Kings fell from grace last year after winning the tournament in 2021. They have the most difficult start in this game against the 2022 winners, but they have some world-class players.
