Ipl 2023 Final: In battle between Mentor Dhoni and protege Hardik, Csk face Gujarat Titans (preview)
Ahmedabad, May 27 (Ians) In a battle between mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his protege Hardik Pandya, the four times champions Chennai Super Kings (Csk) will lock horns with defending champions Gujarat Titans in the all-important final of the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Sunday.
Interestingly both these sides — Csk and Gt — had kicked off the season at the same venue, so Ipl 2023 has come full circle.
The Titans had beaten Csk in the opening game. However, earlier this week, Csk levelled the score with a comprehensive win in Qualifier 1 in Chennai. And now, it’s time for the final showdown between the two teams, which are built around the same philosophy.
If one observes closely, both these teams keep things simple, back their players, and create a relaxed team environment. Even Hardik Pandya has praised the Csk team environment recently but on the field, he will look to trump Dhoni.

New Delhi, May 22 (Ians) Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has suggested talismanic batter Virat Kohli to join Delhi Capitals and move on from the Royal Challengers Bangalore after the franchise was knocked out of Ipl 2023 post a six-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
“Time for Virat to make the move to the capital city…! #Ipl”, wrote Pietersen on his Twitter account after Kohli’s quest to win an Ipl trophy ended despite him making his second consecutive century through an unbeaten 101.
Kohli, who entered the Indian team after playing for Delhi in domestic cricket, has been a part of the Bangalore franchise since the tournament’s inception in 2008. Interestingly, Delhi had picked left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan over Kohli during the first-ever Ipl player auction, held shortly after the right-handed batter had led India to U-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup trophy in Malaysia.

New Delhi, April 3 (Ians) Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack will be under focus in a bid to bounce back in Ipl 2023 in the comfort of their home ground when they host Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
The two teams have met only once in Ipl, during last year when Gujarat emerged victorious by 14 runs. Tuesday’s match is also the first time Gujarat will play an away match as part of the tournament returning to the home-and-away format.
Back to playing at their home base for the first time since 2019, Delhi will be itching to put up a much-improved show in all departments of the game after being underwhelming in a 50-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants in their tournament opener.
Their bowlers lacked the cutting edge with the ball, ground fielding was sloppy, and the batting line-up was blown away by Mark Wood’s raw pace.

Ahmedabad, March 30 (Ians) Gujarat Titans were the flavour of Ipl 2022. The newly-created franchise, in its debut season, ran all the way to the trophy, making for a delightful story as all departments of the game clicked in unison throughout the tournament.
Now, Hardik Pandya & Co would be eager to begin from where they left off at their home ground Narendra Modi Stadium last year — secure wins in emphatic fashion. Ipl 2023 opener will see the Titans face off against four-time champions Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Ipl 2023 has a lot of new initiatives like ‘impact player’ and announcing teams after the toss. But at the same time, there is a return to the good old comfort of the home-and-away format, which had been held back for the last three seasons due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

New Delhi, Feb 12 (Ians) Pradeep Sangwan has been named Delhi captain ahead of Shikhar Dhawan for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy one-day tournament for which the Delhi and District Cricket Association (Ddca) announced its 22-member squad on Friday. While opening batsman Dhawan is included in the squad he is not expected to be available after the first week of the tournament due to India's limited overs series against England which starts on March 12.
The Vijay Hazare Trophy is set to start on February 20 with Delhi facing Mumbai in their first match on February 21.
"Shikhar wouldn't have been able to continue beyond February 28 as he is part of the Indian limited overs team. He has to join the India team well ahead of the T20I series, probably on March 1," selector Chetanya Nanda told Ians.
"He himself suggested that someone who can lead Delhi throughout the tournament -- including knockouts if...

Mumbai, Jan 11 (Ians) Left-handed batsman Nitish Rana (74) and left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan (three wickets) on Monday starred in Delhi's 76-run win over traditional rivals Mumbai in an Elite E match of the T20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament here. The Shikhar Dhawan-led Delhi earned four points from the win registered at the Wankhede Stadium.
A fit-again speedster Ishant Sharma captured two wickets on his return to competitive cricket after recovering from an abdominal muscle tear sustained during the Indian Premier League in October as Delhi bundled out Mumbai for 130 in 18.1 overs while the host chased the visitors' 206 for four wickets in 20 overs. Ishant, who formed a successful Indian bowling attack on the 2018-19 tour of Australia, was ruled out of the current tour of Down Under with the same injury.
After Mumbai asked Delhi to bat on winning the toss, Dhawan (23) and Hiten Dalal (24) provided the team a decent start.
