By Aryan Thakur Published: March 24, 2023 9:52 AM IST • 9 Min Read

2023: IPL is not a league in but it is a festival of India that comes every year. Like every year, this year also IPL 2023 is going to start on 31st March. The very first match of IPL 2023 is going to be very exciting as the experienced Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team (CSK) and the exuberant Hardik Pandya's team Gujrat Titans (GT) will face each other at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday evening.

In today's article, all of you will get to see the list of best playing XI and their squad members of all ten teams.

1. Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Because Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings, will retire this year, it will be a crucial year for the team and its supporters. The Chennai team didn't do anything noteworthy last year, placing ninth on the point table as a result. In 2022, Chennai could only win 4 out of 14 games, but this year, because of the addition of all-rounder Ben Stokes, Chennai's team is looking very strong.
