Ahead of IPL 2023 Chennai Super Kings set to begin preparatory camp

Chennai Super Kings are set to begin their preparatory camp for the upcoming 16th edition of the Indian Premier League at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. Four-time IPL champions CSK will face Gujarat Titans in the opening match on March 31.

CSK skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni along with several Indian players like Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu will be part of the camp.

"CSK will begin training from tomorrow. Dhoni will be reaching tomorrow. The Indian team members will be attending the camp," CSK CEO KS Viswanathan said on Thursday.

The franchise had bagged England Test skipper Ben Stokes and New Zealand star pacer



Kyle Jamieson during the auction earlier this year. However, Jamieson could miss the tournament due to the recurrence of a back injury. According to CSK sources, a replacement for Jamieson would be decided after consultations with Dhoni.
