New Delhi. IPL 2023 has been very exciting so far. In this season, last year’s champion Gujarat is at the top of the points table, with which Gujarat was the first to reach the playoffs, Chennai is on the second position with 17 points, LSG on the third position and Mumbai Indians on the fourth position. The first playoff match of this season will be played on 23 May. Both the teams have won the IPL title with Gujarat winning the title last year while Chennai, who have won the IPL title four times, are also in excellent form this season. But Gujarat, armed with youthful enthusiasm, has once again repeated the performance of last year. Chennai will play this match at their home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium, while Gujarat have defeated teams not only at their home grounds but also at others’ homes. Both the teams will try to win the match and book a ticket to the final.
If we talk about the Fantasy 11 team of this match, then Mahendra Singh can bet on Dhoni’s most trusted Devon Conway for this match. While batting most brilliantly for Chennai, Conway has hit 585 runs in 13 innings so far. Especially Conway bats amazingly on the Chennai pitch. That is why if you choose him as the captain in your Dream 11 team then there is every possibility that you can win a lot of points in this match. On the other hand, if we talk about Vice Captain, then you can also bet on all-rounder Rashid Khan, Ravindra Jadeja.
