Dhoni fever hits Gujarat
On March 31, a sold-out audience will welcome MS Dhoni back to the pitch. 100,000 spectators are expected to see the IPL 2023 season opener between CSK and the Gujarat Titans, which has already sold out at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
The massive Narendra Modi Stadium will host the opening game of MS Dhoni’s final IPL season on March 31. Ahmedabad is preparing to formally welcome the former Indian captain to their shores at the largest cricket stadium in the globe. Ten days before the GT vs. CSK match, all tickets for the stadium’s debut game with a seating capacity of 100,000 had been sold out.
Also, this game marks the Gujarat Titans’ inaugural home game in front of supporters. The IPL 2022 final was played at a jam-packed Narendra Modi Stadium, but this will be Hardik Pandya‘s team’s first home game ever.
Another exciting aspect is the matchup between MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya, with the master taking on the apprentice. While Hardik Pandya is the team’s most recent leader, MS Dhoni is arguably India’s best captain. Pandya frequently cites Dhoni as an influence, so it will be interesting to see how the two tacticians prepare for what promises to be a thrilling match.
Tickets for GT games at Narendra Modi Stadium may be purchased online through the Insider portal starting at Rs 800. The most costly ticket costs 10,000 and provides the ticket holder with limitless food and beverages.
