The 16th edition of IPL has been heralded with much fanfare. History was born when Dhoni clinched Chennai Super Kings’ fifth title by handily defeating the defending champions Gujarat Titans.

Openers: Shubman Gill, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli (captain)
Gujarat Titans’ star batsman Shubman Gill and Rajasthan Royals’ one-man wrecking ball Yashaswi Jaiswal are among the best batsmen IPL 2023 has seen. There is no need to explain more when their batting stats alone indicate their place in the playing eleven.
Former India captain Virat Kohli is one of the most successful senior players this season. Virat, who has proved his class in T20, scored 639 runs from 14 matches at an average of 53.25 including two centuries and six fifties. The reason for choosing Virat as the captain again is his wealth of experience on the field and his previous experience as a captain compared to other players in the team.
