Here are four IPL betting tips that Adam Drury thinks you should consider for the IPL opener between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings on Friday.

Gujarat Titans to win

The Gujarat Titans head into this fixture as the defending champions and hosts and should be the favourites to secure the two points in the tournament curtain-raiser. The Titans have beefed up their squad from their title-winning season with the additions of Kane Williamson, Josh Little and Shivam Mavi and could outmatch a CSK side that only managed to finish 9^th last season.

Shubman Gill to be Gujarat Titans’ Top Batter

Shubman Gill was amongst the top five run-getters in the IPL last season for the defending champions and has carried that form into his international performances this year with India. Gill also has an outstanding record at the Narendra Modi Stadium, averaging 111.5 in four innings in T20s at the venue.

Deepak Chahar to be Chennai Super Kings Top Bowler

After missing out on the entirety of last season due to injury, Deepak Chahar will be looking to come back with a bang in IPL 2023. The CSK seamer is amongst the top five-wicket taking pacers in the IPL since 2018, taking 58 scalps at an average of 27.7.

Ben Stokes to score over 19.5 runs

Ben Stokes will be playing as a pure batter to start the IPL season and the Englishman will be looking make an impact on his debut for the Chennai Super Kings. Stokes has a batting average of 25 in the IPL and offers even more value at that price if he is sent to open the batting or come at number three for CSK.
