The Gujarat Titians, led by Hardik Pandya, defeated the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings by a margin of 5 wickets.
Numerous celebrities, such as Arijit Singh, Tamanah Bhatia, and Rashmika Mandhana, entertained guests during the opening ceremony, which effectively ended yesterday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
It all began with a performance by Arijit Singh, who sang a variety of songs, from upbeat to romantic, and at the conclusion of his set, he claimed the entire stage.
His show was followed by an outstanding performance from Tamanah Bhatia, who entertained the audience with dance numbers from both South and Bollywood.
Rashmika Mandhana gave the final show, dancing to her well-known dance songs and entertained the audience.
It was up to both leaders to make their entrance on stage alongside BCCI President Roger Binny and Secretary Jay Shah, respectively.
As it might be his final IPL, MS Dhoni entered the stage to raucous applause. After greeting a BCCI official and being greeted by celebrities who later performed, he walked over to Arijit Singh, who touched his feet. As soon as this image was captured on camera, it immediately went viral on social media.
Because of his longevity and the success he has attained on those 22 yards over the years, MS Dhoni is well-liked throughout the cricketing community and is respected wherever he travels.
According to reports from various media sources, Dhoni may be participating in his final IPL season because he might be working with the team as a coach next year.
It will be interesting to see who among Stokes and Jadeja will assume the leadership role of captaincy if Dhoni is unable to participate in the upcoming season. Only time will tell.
IPL 2023 have begun now where teams will try to employ their best strategy to emerge victorious in distinct games.
