Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya has won the toss and opted to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings in the opening match of IPL 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Friday.

GT had won the tournament last season, while CSK had finished at the second-last spot in the table. The Dhoni-led side will aim to win a record-equalling fifth trophy this year, while GT will look to defend the title.
