Having hosted the last two matches of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League, Narendra Modi Stadium has been bestowed with the opener of the 16th season of the biggest T20 league across the globe.

Defending champions Gujarat Titans will be hosting Chennai Super Kings in the first match of the season. In what is going to be the 16th IPL match in Ahmedabad, it will be Titans’ first-ever league match at their home ground.
