Sports News : IPL 2023, the 16th season of the world's biggest cricket premier league IPL (TATA IPL 2023), is going to start today. The first match of this league will be played between last year's winner Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. This season is going to be very exciting and every team wants to enter the finals. In such a situation, Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting has predicted which team will play the title match.

Ricky Ponting expressed confidence in this team

Speaking on the latest episode of ICC Review, Ponting was asked to pick any team other than Delhi Capitals to reach the final of IPL 2023. The Aussie responded by taking on Gujarat Titans, but his focus was on 2008 champions Rajasthan Royals, who were back to repeat their 14-year-old feat after reaching the final last year.

Gujarat were awesome but Rajasthan will play final

Ricky Ponting said, 'Obviously Gujarat (Titans) were amazing last year, a new team and were able to win the tournament. Last year's other finalists, Rajasthan Royals, I think are a really good team and we were very impressed with what they did last year after the auction. They are going to join it. Got a good team anyhow.

Rajasthan will play its first match on 2 April

While Rajasthan Royals will open their campaign in this year's IPL against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 2, Delhi will begin their first match against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday.
