One of the most anticipated clashes will be between IPL 2022 winner Gujarat Titans (GT) and last year's runners-up Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday at Ahmedabad. The match gains extra hype as GT's former captain, Hardik Pandya, has made a surprising move to MI, replacing their long-time captain Rohit Sharma.
This move has sent shockwaves through the IPL fraternity, adding intrigue to an already intense competition. Additionally, Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants will kick off their campaigns at Jaipur on the same day.
Delhi Capitals will be playing their home fixtures at Vizag on March 31 and April 3 against CSK and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively. On March 23, the first-ever double-header will feature Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Mohali, while Kolkata Knight Riders will start their campaign in Kolkata.
