The IPL 2023 is merely a couple of days away and the extravaganza is resuming with a blockbuster clash on March 31.
Defending champions Gujarat Titans will be taking on MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings on the day to kickstart the new season at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.

The IPL 2023 is also set to have an opening ceremony before the inaugural match of the new season. It will be taking place at the Narendra Modi stadium just before the match.
The IPL 2023 Opening Ceremony will be held on March 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The opening ceremony will begin at 6:30 PM (IST). The venue is the biggest cricket stadium in the world as it can host more than one lakh spectators in one day. Captains of all 10 teams will be present.
The opening ceremony won't be as extravagant as it has been in previous years of the IPL. But BCCI has ensured a couple of Bollywood actors will perform and there may be a musical performance as well to entertain the audience.
Rashmika Mandanna and Tamannaah Bhatia are set to perform and mesmerize the crowd in the opening ceremony. The Bollywood glamour pair have confirmed they will be taking the centre stage on the evening.
Apart from them, Tiger Shroff will perform at the event, while there is a musical performance by renowned Bollywood singer Arijit Singh in the opening ceremony.
