List of Captains
The defending champion Gujarat Titans are entering the season. In the 2022 championship game in Ahmedabad, they defeated Rajasthan Royals. In his first season as captain, Hardik Pandya successfully guided Gujarat Titans to victory. Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan Royals' captain, also received praise for his leadership throughout the season. In IPL 2023, both of them are anticipated to captain their respective teams once more.
After a forgettable season in 2022, MS Dhoni is also back in charge of the Chennai Super Kings and will want to advance to the playoffs. The Mumbai Indians, coming off their poorest season yet, will be led by Rohit Sharma, while Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants will be managed by Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul, respectively.
