IPL 2023: The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to begin from 31st March. The two-month-long tournament will see 10 teams clashing with each other in 74 games for the trophy. The final of the tournament will take place on 28th May and the tournament will be played in its old traditional format as all the teams will play seven home and seven away encounters, which didn’t happen since the last three years due to Covid-19 restrictions. Defending Champions Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will clash with each other in the curtain raiser of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium. It’s fair to say that it’ll be a treat for fans to watch as all their favourite superstars will be in action.
