Gujarat Titans enter this campaign as defending champions. They beat Rajasthan Royals in the final last season. Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who also made the playoffs, will hope to end their wait for an IPL title.

Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, will expect a better showing. Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad also endured indifferent campaigns in 2022 and would be wanting to qualify for the playoffs, at the very least.

IPL 2023 began on March 31, with Chennai Super Kings taking on Gujarat Giants at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Each team will play 14 matches, and IPL 2023 returns to a home-and-away format after being played entirely in Maharashtra last year. Here’s the full IPL schedule for 2023.
